Tux is a lightweight, high-performance web server designed for Linux systems. It was developed by Ingo Molnar and originally released in 1999. Tux is designed to be fast, efficient, and easy to use, and it can handle a large number of connections concurrently.
To use Tux, you will need to install it on your Linux system. You can download the latest version of Tux from the project's website (https://tux.nginx.org/) or from your Linux distribution's package repository. Once Tux is installed, you can start the server by running the "tux" command.
By default, Tux will listen for incoming connections on port 8080 and serve static files from the /var/www/html directory. You can configure Tux to listen on a different port or serve files from a different directory by editing the configuration file (/etc/tux/tux.conf).
To test your Tux server, you can use a web browser to access your server's IP address or hostname followed by the port number (e.g., http://localhost:8080/). If Tux is running and configured correctly, you should see a default web page with a message indicating that the server is working.
Tux also supports virtual hosting, which allows you to host multiple websites on the same server using different domain names or IP addresses. To enable virtual hosting, you will need to create a configuration file for each virtual host and specify the domain name, document root, and other settings for the host.
