💅 htsserver — bestie's guide to the offline browser server

okay so welcome to the htsserver(1) page, section 1 of the general commands manual, and honestly? she's iconic. let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

htsserver — offline browser server : copy websites to a local directory 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

htsserver [ path/ ] [ keyword value [ keyword value .. ] ]

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. a path (maybe), then keyword-value pairs as many as you want 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so htsserver is a web frontend server for httrack(1) — you know, the website copier — and webhttrack(1) is the one using her. she's the server babe behind the browser-y frontend. main character energy fr fr 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

okay bestie, here's the moment:

htsserver /usr/share/httrack/ path $HOME/websites lang 1

then, browse http://localhost:8080/

and that's literally it?? you point her at the share dir, tell her where your sites go with path $HOME/websites, set the language with lang 1, and then you're just... browsing localhost like a legend. periodt. ✨

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /etc/httrack.conf — the system wide configuration file. the big one. the mother ship 🫶

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

  • HOME — she's being used if you defined in /etc/httrack.conf the line path ~/websites/# 🏠

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

Errors/Warnings are reported to hts-log.txt located in the destination directory. so if something's giving messy, that file's the group chat where she spills it. go read it, ngl 🙈
