On Linux, busybox includes a command-line http server.

/usr/bin/busybox httpd -f -p ADDRESS:LISTEN_PORT-h BASE_DIR BASE_DIR

where:

• -f makes the HTTP server run in the foreground,
• BASE_DIR is the directory root of the files to serve,
• ADDRESS is the listening address,
• LISTEN_PORT is the port to listen on

• The busybox HTTP server is perhaps one of the best choices from Docker to common usage due to being built-in and requiring no dependencies except busybox.
