Howdy,

So, I only need this for internal usage for hosting some info and files. What I want is something that sets up and is ready fairly easily, done via GUI, and I want something that’s stupid easy to configure. For example, I want if I make a subdirectory under the defined web root, then the server should recognize that, and if the browser points to a directory that contains no index, then it should simply provide a file list.

I can deal with a little configuration etc. but it’s never going to do more than extremely rudimentary response and providing files. I’m on Kubuntu.

Thanks.

    Not sure if this is a perfect fit, but I use http-server when I need to spin up something super rudimentary that works out of box.

    Edit: sorry, no UI for that one, but the commands for it are pretty simple to understand. You could try something like XAMPP instead. Portainer is nice for spinning stuff up quickly, but it has a slightly steeper learning curve.

    I should note that you can run this in any folder you want to serve files from.
