Configure a local server to store ads:
If the equipment does not have access to the Internet, and there is no way to place files on any external resource, you can set up your own file storage on local server.
Here is an example of settings for the Ubuntu operating system:
1. Install the npm service.
| Code Block |
|---|
apt install npm |
2. Install the http-server service.
| Code Block |
|---|
npm install --global http-server |
3. After installation is complete, you can run the service.
| Code Block |
|---|
http-server . > http.log 2>&1 & |
By default, the server will be available on port 8080, and the files will be stored in the ./public directory (if there is no such directory, then the files will be in the users home directory). The service itself will start running in the background.
However, we recommend you to create a new directory, so that users do not have access to your servers system directories. To do this, run the following commands:
| Code Block |
|---|
mkdir /home/new_directory
http-server /home/new_directory . > http.log 2>&1 & |
Example of settings for the Windows operating system:
1. Install NodeJS for your system.
2. Create a folder on your computer to store advertisements.
3. Open a command prompt (cmd) and go to the created folder.
| Code Block |
|---|
cd C:/way/to a folder |
4. Install the http-server.
| Code Block |
|---|
npm install -g http-server |
5. Launch http-server in the created folder.
| Code Block |
