Can I transform my Ubuntu Desktop installation into a server? I want to test this out, but I do not want to make any permanent changes. How can I host a html web page I have on my PC temporarily?
If you wish to host a html webpage on your Ubuntu Desktop installation, you can easily do so by installing apache2, a web server. More configuration may be needed if you want to host php files.
Install apache2
sudo apt-get install apache2
Put your webpage and other files that you want to host in /var/www/html/
Browse your page at http://localhost/
After you're done testing it out, you can remove apache2 along with any other configuration files with sudo apt-get purge apache2.
