How to run an MS-DOS-based web server (seriously) #MSDOS #Networking #VintageComputing
Bryan Lunduke posts a guide on running a DOS-based web server. Yes, DOS.
And, while DOS may not be the high-up-time, massively scalable Web Server platform of the future… it’s still a heck of a lot of fun to set up. Plus, it only takes a few minutes. At which point you can say to the world: “Hey! I ran a DOS Web Server!”
Bryan’s example uses FreeDOS as the base operating system. FreeDOS is a Free and Open Source, MS-DOS compatible operating system that is still (even nowadays) under active development. He notes that much of the guide pertains to MS-DOS too.
The install uses mTCP for networking, wget and there are two webserver packages to choose from: Sioux (more featured) and WebServ (written in BASIC).
