Minimalistic web server on Scale suggestion

TrueNAS General
8

There are some places where you can get free domain names that work with DNS-01. Here is an example of one: dnsapi · acmesh-official/acme.sh Wiki · GitHub. Otherwise cheap domain names are only like 4$ per year.

But back to the original question:
If I need a quick and temporary webserver to serve static files I do the following:

  • ssh into my TrueNAS using my user
  • cd into the directory whose files I wish to share
  • run python -m http.server 8080 (in a tmux session if I need the webserver a bit longer)
