Debian Testing Feb 2021

I decided to have a go at upgrading a netbook Debian 10 to Debian 11. Buster –> Bullseye.

I am following the instructions found at [3]. I have also included links to release notes for both the current and next version.

Upgrade seemed to go well. However I seem to be having networking issue, so am investigating further,

Run a basic web server locally.

A few years ago, at the Torbay Tech Jam I was shown a neat way to start up a really basic http web server using python3.

Using this method I decided to have a go, so that I could share this, as it is linked to this weeks Code Club tutorials.

Note: I am using Debian Linux for this.

So after creating a new directory for the server

mkdir http cd http

I created a new file index.html and added a few basic lines of html to this.

<html>
<body>
<h1>this is a test line</h1>
</body>
<html>

Then from the command line entered:

python3 -m http.server 8080

Note: 8080 is the port number, so you can use something different, the default for http is 80.

Then pointing my web browser at

127.0.0.1:8080

I am able to view the page in the web browser.

Hope this is useful, could be useful for testing out what you are learning with Freecodecamp if you don't want to create Repl for this.

I am creating this post to try and bring together some information on how to get involved with the FreeBSD project. I am not a developer in this project. This information may simply be useful as it points to various related resources.

It would be really good to get a Devon based developer / tester community set up, where people can work together, learn essential computer skills, have fun, be social but at the same time develop some real world developer / work skills that can be useful later on.

Being part of any developer community can also open up doors. Learning c / c++ for example is useful, but as would learning shell scripting.
