Is it possible to use elixir native http-server to run a index.html on localhost?

Just wondering about is it possible to run a single static page locally (just two files in a project index.html and styles.css) using Elixir-native http-server?

Today, for these purposes I run $ npx http-server in the root folder.
May be there is a same simple method but using Elixir?

As of OTP 27 (currently in rc2) you can do:

erl -S httpd

For a different port:

erl -S httpd serve -p 8081

To serve a different directory:

erl -S httpd serve /some/dir

I just tried this and it works:

elixir -e ":inets.start; :inets.start(:httpd, port: 8000, server_name: 'local', server_root: './', document_root: './')" --no-halt

First start :inets then use it to start an http server listening on port 8000 and serving the local folder.
