Simple Ruby files to statically serve files

README.md

Purpose

The purpose of these two files is to have a simple way of starting a web server server static files.

I use this all time I need to serve some static files in development. With this, it's easy to get a development web server up and running.

Usage

Copy the two files at the root of the directory where files need to be served. If you need to serve a sub folder only, append it at the end of the root variable definition.

When file are copied to the right location, in a terminal, install the bundle:

bundle install

Then to start the web server:

bundle exec rackup

The server will listen to http://0.0.0.0:9292. To access it, simpy type the url http://localhost:9292 in your browser.
