Screaming Liquid Tiger is a lightweight web server that serves static content. It uses minimal resources and is easy to configure. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install it on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before we begin, we need to install some dependencies that Screaming Liquid Tiger requires to run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential
Clone the Screaming Liquid Tiger repository using the following command:
git clone https://git.herrbischoff.com/screaming-liquid-tiger.git
This will create a new directory called screaming-liquid-tiger with the source code inside.
Navigate to the screaming-liquid-tiger directory and build the server:
cd screaming-liquid-tiger
make
After building, you can install the server using the following command:
sudo make install
This will install the server to /usr/local/bin so it can be easily accessed.
Create a new directory where you want to serve your static content from. For example:
sudo mkdir /var/www/html
Create the configuration file for your server. Here is a simple example:
sudo nano /etc/screaming-liquid-tiger.conf
The file should contain the following:
root "/var/www/html"
listen 8080
This will serve the content from the directory /var/www/html and listen on port 8080.
To start the server, run the screaming-liquid-tiger command followed by the path to the configuration file:
sudo screaming-liquid-tiger /etc/screaming-liquid-tiger.conf
The server should now be running and serve files from the directory you specified in your configuration.
That's it! You have successfully installed and configured Screaming Liquid Tiger on your Ubuntu Server Latest. You can create additional configurations as needed or modify the existing one to fit your specific needs.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
