Host syntax

Host can be an interface name (${Object.keys(networkInterfaces()).join(' ')}), IP (both v4 and v6) address or a hostname, but it must be bound to a local interface. Use * to listen on all interfaces. Default: localhost:8080

Example 1: workflow for default port (8080) on the default host (localhost)

cd /path/to/your/contents

webdir start

webdir status

webdir stop

Example 2: listen on all interfaces and port 4200, use a different directory

webdir start --dir=../other/dir *:4200

Example 3: listen on multiple addresses

Use localhost and map all addresses for eth0, all on port 8080 webdir start localhost:8000 eth0:8000
