  Jester is working fine, but httpbeast is missing a new tag-release on GitHub to work with Nim v2. See workaround in this issue.

  You can compile with nim c -d:dev -d:useStdLib -r server.nim where -d:useStdLib forces jester to use the standard lib instead of` httpbeast`.

  Jester worked fine in Nim v1, at least with the versions I tested. All you have to do is run nimble install jester and then write your web app with it.

  Hi @isaiah

  When you compile your Nim code, it generates a binary. This binary can then be moved to your server and will be exposing the Jester port (e.g. 127.0.0.1:5000). However, when using Jester, you should put a web server in front of it (like Nginx or Apache) and route the external ports 80/443 to the Jester port.

  I created a pretty complete guide to setting up a server for deploying Nim web servers: https://peterme.net/setting-up-a-nim-server-for-dummies.html
