Making a $35 Experimental Web-server Using Python, Lubuntu, and a Thinkpad

Today we are going to turn a $35 Lenovo Thinkpad T400 into a simple webserver using Lubuntu 18.04 and Python simple http server.

Something to note is that, on its own, SimpleHTTPServer is not multithreaded. if it gets multiple requests at the same time, it will cause timeouts. A great alternative to SimpleHTTPServer is ComplexHTTPServer. It can handle threading and will not cause timeouts upon recieving multiple requests at the same time. Just use “pip install ComplexHTTPServer” in the CLI to install it and use the command “sudo python -m ComplexHTTPServer [port]” in place of the “sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer [port]” command.
