#### Serve files over HTTP right now, from the command line

miniserve is a small, self-contained web server that shares files and
folders over HTTP. It supports uploads, authentication, TLS and archive
downloads.

**Examples**

```
miniserve ~/Downloads
miniserve --port 9000 --auth user:password ~/share
miniserve --upload-files ~/inbox
```

**Background service**

The service is installed disabled and listens on 127.0.0.1:8080, serving
/var/snap/miniserve/common/www. To configure and start it:

```
sudo snap set miniserve port=8080 interfaces=0.0.0.0
sudo snap start --enable miniserve
```

**File access**

miniserve can serve files in your home directory. To also serve USB drives
and other removable media (/media, /mnt), run:

```
sudo snap connect miniserve:removable-media
```

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install miniserve

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```
