USAGE:
    tinyserve [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

OPTIONS:
    -a, --address <127.0.0.1>              Sets the IPv4 address to bind to. Default is 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
    -p, --port <8000>                      Sets the port on the specified address. Default is 8000.
    -r, --webroot <directory_with_html>    Sets the web root for the server. index.html is loaded from this directory.
                                           Default is ~/.config/tinyserve.

How to use

Your web root directory must contain at the very least, a file called 404.html. Tinyserve will crash if this file is not present. If there is no index.html to serve for a GET / request, Tinyserve will fall back to 404.html.

There is an example HTML site included with this repo, copy it to your ~/.config/tinyserve, the default web root, and give it a try. The default address is localhost:8000.
