Hi, |
2 |
Pandu asked a similar question a few days ago about serving up |
3 |
files, but mostly for distfiles IIRC. It got me thinking about doing |
4 |
the same sort of thing, but this time to serve up MP4 video files for |
5 |
my Kindle Fire as well as other computers on _only_ my home network. |
6 |
Sort of an in-house Mark's Watch Instantly setup. I've now got a few |
7 |
hundred gigabyte of mp4 files ripped with Grant's suggested app |
8 |
Handbrake. They look good on my desktop playing in xine. When the |
9 |
Kindle Fire arrives I'd like to have a web server running on my |
10 |
private network that Silk (Amazon's KF broswer) could access, possibly |
11 |
presenting nothing but the alphabetical folders that the video files |
12 |
are in, and then if I select one it starts streaming that file. |
13 |
|
14 |
My main issue isn't really the lightest in terms of memory or CPU |
15 |
usage, but rather something that's VERY easy to setup the config so |
16 |
that I don't have to spend much time reading manuals. |
17 |
|
18 |
From browsing around a lot of pages on the web it seems that there |
19 |
are a number of small & light servers (in terms of memory anyway) in |
20 |
portage. Some names: fnord, thttpd, boa, monkeyd & cherokee. Does |
21 |
anyone know if one of those would fit my main need of just being |
22 |
extremely simple to setup and keep running for this one purpose? |
23 |
|
24 |
Thanks in advance, |
