static-file-http-server is a simple, zero-configuration command-line static server written in Rust. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and requires not configuration. It can also produce a single binary file that hosts your files independently which is what we recommend for production.
npm install --global static-file-http-server
cargo install static-file-http-server
static-file-http-server [OPTIONS] <PATH>
