pip3 install updog

Usage

updog [-d DIRECTORY] [-p PORT] [--password PASSWORD] [--ssl]

Argument	Description
-d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY	Root directory [Default=.]
-p PORT, --port PORT	Port to serve [Default=9090]
--password PASSWORD	Use a password to access the page. (No username)
--ssl	Enable transport encryption via SSL
--version	Show version

Examples

updog

Serve from another directory:

Serve from port 1234:

updog -p 1234

Password protect the page:
