Webdev 101

Start a local web server

• (optional) Start docker container and expose port 8000 docker run -it -p 8000:8000 --entrypoint bash -w /home -v $PWD:/home default:1.0
• Start web server using Python (use port 8000 by default) python -m http.server
• Access that web site from another machine on my network use URL http://<local_ip_address>:8000 you can find your local ip address by doing ipconfig getifaddr en0 when conected to wifi. Note that for some reason, you can’t use localhost on Chrome and instead need to use 127.0.0.1, which is the same in the end. The answer to that StackOverflow question provides a fix.
