Project mention: Installing NSP/XCI files over network? | /r/SwitchPirates | 2023-05-21

I tried using updog (https://github.com/sc0tfree/updog) but DBI doesn't parse the served HTTP page as a directory listing, and I can't find a way to make updog do a plain listing like SimpleHTTPServer that DBI can understand.

I tried to build a Win10 binary with Nuitka just the other day, and was surprised to find that the pyinstaller binary had higher performance. Pyinstaller also had several other advantages, such as producing smaller binaries, and building faster, and Win7 support.
For reference, I kept notes on the exact commands I used: https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/docs/nuit...
