Try Plumber

Try the Application - The PINS Web Server

The Plumber Project home page is actually powered by this web server. The code lives in the Plumber examples repository. You can play with the server in following ways.

• Try with Docker(Linux Only)

docker run --rm -t -i --network=host haohou/plumber-fileserver-example --port=8080

To serve the files other than the default page

docker run --rm --network=host -ti -v /path/to/serve:/www haohou/plumber-fileserver-example --root=/www

Explore the Framework with the Sandbox(Linux/MacOS/Windows WSL)

You can also use the sandbox environment and try the examples with the Plumber examples repository.

Tutorial
