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, -T
