Anyone know how usable Redox is? Can it serve static files with Apache, for example? Does it have a workable POSIX userspace?

- mperham 2y agoThis is a fascinating article on the subject. https://www.redox-os.org/news/kernel-11/ https://www.redox-os.org/news/kernel-11/
- zie 2y agoYou can see the list of packages currently ported here: https://static.redox-os.org/pkg/x86_64-unknown-redox/ https://static.redox-os.org/pkg/x86_64-unknown-redox/ You can go up a directory to see the other architectures. Apache isn’t there, but vim is.
- sho_hn 2y ago> Apache isn’t there, but vim is. This sentence cracked me up. There probably actually is a httpd implementation in vimscript however. :-)
- zie 2y agolol, I’ve never tried web serving from vimscript. I think handling sockets might be the hard part. bash is there too, and you can absolutely do simple web serving in bash, provided you also have netcat or socat https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd Sadly it doesn’t appear either of those socket utilities are ported yet.
