minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·5 months agoI am trying to lear basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript ( again, last learned HTML back in the 1990’s, am using “JavaScript: The Good Parts” & other books ), & have discovered that you can have, on the same phone/tablet, Termux/Nginx running, you have to feed /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/nginx/nginx.conf the root-dir you want it to use ( which is actually in a proot-distro install, down below /data/data/llcom.termux/files/usr/var/lib/proot-distro/installed-rootfs/ … ) … and then you can have your browser hit http://localhost:8080/ and it’ll grab index.html. Notice that that is http, NOT httpS. None of the browsers I’ve tried can get the default connection to localhost, because they all default to https, & nginx isn’t serving https. That wasted an entire fscking day, to discover. Now learning can begin!
