List, good afternoon,
Because we have only a slow Internet connection, and are capacity
limited, we don't have a recent spin on which we could check whether
there is an https server present or running. We have some older spins,
and these do not have any service running on localhost:80. One reason
for wondering whether there was an http server present is that we were
thinking of using a live spin on a spare laptop to create a temporary
web-server, for example at an offsite event, or even in our own network
for temporarily serving whatever content.
Is an http server included on the current spin? If so, can it also
provide https service, even if using a temporary self-signed certificate?
Grateful for any information,
regards, Ron
Hi Ron,
Not seeing one on 127.0.0.1:80 with Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-22-3.iso
You could always do a direct install to a USB stick and
do a dnf (yum) to install the http server. That way,
it won't be volatile, like a live DVD.
Currently, the above iso will not correctly install to a
flash drive, but the gnome one from Fedora will. Then
do an "dnf groupinstall xfce" to get Xfce. (Gnome has
gotten really, really W-I-E-R-D.)
HTH,
