💖 mtx-server — Simple Webserver For Helpers 💖

okay bestie, this is mtx-server, from the mtx-server(1) manual page, and it's literally the simplest little webserver you've ever met. It does one thing and it does it cutely: it serves your files so you and your helpers can look at stuff. That's it. That's the vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mtxrun --script server [ OPTIONS ...  ] [ FILENAMES ]

so you're not even calling mtx-server directly, you're going through mtxrun and telling it "run the server script", and then you sprinkle options and filenames after it. slay. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Simple Webserver For Helpers.

that's the whole description bestie, it's giving minimalism, it's giving "I have one job and I'm not stressed about it". 🦋 A simple webserver, for helpers. periodt.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the full roster, no skips, no cuts, every single one:

  • --start — start server. like, actually boot it up. nothing happens until you say go. 🔥
  • --port — port to listen to. that's the whole thing, that's the option, you hand it the port you want it listening on. 🌈
  • --root — server root. this is where the server's root lives, the base of the whole tree it's serving. 💜
  • --scripts — scripts sub path. the sub path where scripts hang out. ✨
  • --index — index file. the index file, the one that greets people when they land on a directory. 🫶
  • --auto — start on own path. it starts up on its own path, automatic behavior, no extra hand-holding. ⭐
ngl bestie, the descriptions here are short and sweet, so I'm keeping them short and sweet too — I'm not gonna invent details that aren't in the page. the facts stay exactly as written, I'm just hyping them up. 💖
