Launch a Simple HTTP Server with Python

Change the directory to the location of the files you want to expose:

mkdir /tmp/nothing && cd /tmp/nothing

Default port 8000:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Change the port

sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

Python3 equivalent:

sudo python -m http.server 80

Create a webserver and log everything to a file[1]:

PYTHONUNBUFFERED=x python3 -m http.server &> /tmp/http.server.log & echo $! > /tmp/http.server.pid
