🧭 What this is

hiawatha-pkg provides Hiawatha web server packages for Debian and Ubuntu systems. It is made for users who want a small, secure web server with a simple setup. The package set fits Debian, Ubuntu, and Devuan systems on amd64 and arm64.

Use it when you want:

• a web server that stays light on system use
• HTTP/2 support
• reverse proxy support
• Mbed TLS-based security
• a setup that works well on common Linux servers

🖥️ What you need

Before you install, make sure your system matches these basics:

• Debian, Ubuntu, or Devuan
• amd64 or arm64
• a working internet connection
• enough disk space for the package files and logs
• admin access with sudo

If you plan to run Hiawatha on a server, keep the machine updated first.

🚀 Getting started

Use the link above to visit the download page. From there, get the package files that match your system.

After you download the files:

1. Save them in a folder you can find again
2. Open a terminal
3. Go to the folder that holds the files
4. Install the package files with your package tool
5. Start the Hiawatha service
6. Check that the web server runs in your browser

📥 Install on Debian and Ubuntu

For most users, installation follows this pattern:

1. Download the package for your system architecture
2. Open a terminal in the download folder
3. Install the package with dpkg or apt
4. Fix any missing package parts if your system asks for them
5. Turn on the Hiawatha service
6. Open your server address in a browser

Typical install commands:

sudo dpkg -i ./hiawatha*.deb
sudo apt -f install

If you use a package manager that handles local files, you can install through that instead.

⚙️ Basic setup

After install, Hiawatha keeps its main files in standard Linux locations. You can usually find:

• config files under /etc
• site files under the web root
• logs under a log folder set in the config
• service controls through systemctl

Common service commands:

sudo systemctl start hiawatha
sudo systemctl enable hiawatha
sudo systemctl status hiawatha

If the service name differs on your system, check the package files or service list.

🔒 Security features

Hiawatha focuses on safe web hosting. This package set is built for users who want strong defaults and low upkeep.

Useful parts include:

• support for TLS through Mbed TLS
• reverse proxy options
• clean request handling
• protection features for public web use
• a small code base compared with larger web servers

This makes it a good fit for personal sites, small apps, and internal tools.

🌍 Common uses

You can use Hiawatha for:

• a small website
• a reverse proxy in front of another app
• a private dashboard
• a low-use server on home hardware
• a simple test server for Linux hosting

It works well when you want a web server that does one job well and does not need much tuning.
