Buoy Server

An always on, static web server for developers using macOS.

App Store

Buoy is like GitHub pages for localhost.

It's an always on alternative to these popular approaches:

npx serve . -p 42869
python -m http.server 42869
php -S localhost:42869

It's small, simple to install, and starts automatically on reboot.

It uses the XDB standard, serving files out of `~/.local/share/buoy/www` and serves those files on localhost:42869. You create symlinks to your favorite directories. Great for serving custom dashboards, forms, and applications that you write for yourself.
