47 |FAQ
48 |How do I start web hosting? You will need to setup port forwarding, a dynamic DNS, name 49 | registration, MySQL, PHP, Apache and take a online course in Javascript.
50 |Just kidding! You don't need any of that crap. Just drag and drop a folder, or select a file. 51 | That's literally it. Now you can host a website from your laptop or your phone or your smartwatch or 52 | your toaster.
53 |How is this possible? When the server you point at gets a request for a webpage, the 54 | server turns back and asks you for that content and will use what you provide for the original 55 | request.
56 |Seriously, how is this possible? The relay uses websockets in your browser to process 57 | GET commands.
58 |Won't my website disappear when I close my browser? Yep! There is a command-line tool 59 | that doesn't require a browser so it can run in the background if you need that. But yes, if your 60 | computer turns off then your site is down. Welcome to the joys of hosting a site on the internet.
61 |Won't I have to reload my browser if I change a file? Yep! Welcome to the joys of 62 | Javascript.
63 |What's the largest file I can host using this? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Should I use this to host a website? Dear god yes.
65 |Does it scale? Horizontally, or vertically? Probably neither!
66 |What inspired this? beaker browser, ngrok, localhost.run, inlets.dev, Parks and Recreation.
67 |What's the point of this? You can host a website! You can share a file! Anything you 68 | want, directly from your browser!
