    Might not be the answer you are looking for. 
    
    This is what I use when I am testing something on my local
      machine or my local lan
    STEP I : Getting in the directory which hosts the pages
    STEP || python3 -m http.server
    it starts serving the web pages on that hosts ip and default
      port 8000
    you can also specify different ports for different website
      folders
    $ python3 -m http.server 3000
    
    
    I also use the same trick to access files from another system
      over a web browser. 
    
    This approach is fine for a test server. Dont expect serious
      configurations using this
