How To: Run A BusyBox HTTP Daemon (httpd) Web Server On Tiny Core Linux

.

The Tiny Core Linux Project is a highly modular based system with community build extensions.

It is not a complete desktop nor is all hardware completely supported. It represents only the core needed to boot into a very minimal X desktop typically with wired internet access.

BusyBox is a toolbox with tiny replacements of essential Linux programs. One of them is a tiny HTTP server httpd (HTTP Daemon).

.

STEPS:

1) Downnload Tiny Core Linux OVA file (https://archive.org/download/tiny-linux-vm/Tiny%20Linux%20VM.ova)

2) Import into VirtualBox and run.

3) Install BusyBox

Terminal Command:

tce-load -wi busybox-httpd.tcz

4) Install OpenSSH (Optional)
Terminal Command:
tce-load -wi openssh

5) Configure BusyBox httpd Port (-p) and Home Directory (-h)
Terminal Command:
sudo /usr/local/httpd/bin/busybox httpd -p 80 -h /usr/local/httpd/bin/
6) Create sample html file
Go to the busybox directory.
Create an html file containing simple texts e.g. <h1>Hello</h1>.
Terminal Command:
cd /usr/local/httpd/bin/
vi html
(in the vi environment, type the following commands)
Type[esc]i
Type in the editor panel: <h1>Hello</h1>
Type[esc]:wq! and press [enter]
7) Create a backup for the html (optional).
Terminal Command:
sudo mkdir /mnt/sda1/wwwsite/ 
sudo cp /usr/local/httpd/bin/index.html /mnt/sda1/wwwsite/index.html
8) Run daemon

How To: Run A Web Server On Tiny Core Linux Using BusyBox HTTP Daemon (httpd)

 

1) Run Tiny Core Linux

2) Install BusyBox Httpd

tce-load -wi busybox-httpd.tcz

3) Create Home directory

Go to /mnt/sda1/ directory

cd /mnt/sda1/

Make a new directory wwwsite

sudo mkdir wwwsite

4) Create html page

sudo vi index.html

Type vi command: [ESC] i

<h1>HelloWorld</h1>

Type vi command: [ESC] :wq!

5) Run httpd command

sudo /usr/local/httpd/sbin/httpd -p 80 -h /mnt/sd1/wwwsite/

6) View the website in the web browser

You can automate the entire process by following the next article:

How To: Set Up Tiny Core Linux On VirtualBox

 

1) Download Tiny Core Linux OVA file

https://archive.org/download/tiny-linux-vm/Tiny%20Linux%20VM.ova

2) Run VirtualBox, import the OVA as a new appliance.

Import new appliance

New VM imported

3) Run

4) Install Nano Text Editor

tce-load -wi nano

meaning:

"tce-load [-w -i {-r -f} ] extname"

"tce-load, use -w (wget) , -i (to install i.e mount the app), -r (force tcz to ram) and -f (force symlinker)"

ref:https://tinyurl.com/2wd39n8r

Check installation

cd /usr/local/etc

ls

5) Install OpenSSH

tce-load -wi openssh

Check installation

cd /usr/local/etc

ls

6) Configure OpenSSH for remote connection

sudo cp ssh_config.example ssh_config

sudo cp sshd_config.example sshd_config

7) Start OpenSSH

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/openssh start

8) Set user password for remote connection

(assuming that the user is tc)

passwd

make it a bit harder e.g. P@ssw0rd

enter for two times.

9) Check IP number for the VM

ifconfig

10) Run Putty application in host PC (which acts as a remote PC).

Host Name: tc@192.168.68.129

Port: 22

11) Accept connection to the OpenSSH service

Accept connection

Connected
