    For a little project I'm developing. I want to be able to serve the contents of a particular directory and browse from the local network without the hassle of setting up apache.

    Something like: 
    $ serve --port 8080 code/project/www

    Lighttpd

    edit: I think python can do this very, very handy.

    Perfect, I have python3 installed as default so the command is: 
    python -m http.server
