You can easily set up a node or go webserver


* ***************************************
* node
* ***************************************

download node from https://nodejs.org

follow tutorial at
  https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/default.asp

mkdir nodejs

cd nodejs

create the file glocal.js

------------
var http = require('http');
var url = require('url');
var fs = require('fs');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
  var q = url.parse(req.url, true);
  var filename = "." + q.pathname;
  fs.readFile(filename, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
      res.writeHead(404, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
      return res.end("404 Not Found");
    }
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.write(data);
    return res.end();
  });
}).listen(80);
------------

Now run "node glocal.js"

and this will server files from this directory to 127.0.0.1 or localhost

You can edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
add line
127.0.0.1 gregww.net

Also, you can install in debian with apt-get. It seems on linux the command
is "nodejs" rather than "node"

The great thing about node is the ability to open a terminal
% nodejs -i

Tutorial on create a server

https://hackernoon.com/how-to-create-a-web-server-in-go-a064277287c9

mkdir go
cd go
mkdir main
cd main
create file main.go

--- begin main.go -----------
package main

import (
  "net/http"
)

func ping(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  w.Write([]byte("pong"))
}

func main() {
  http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir("./src")))
  http.HandleFunc("/ping", ping)
  if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil); err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}
--- end   main.go -----------


go build main.go

./main.exe

Now you have a server (but is serves files out of ./src)
