Sorry for coming late to the party. For my own purposes I wrote something very lightweight and simple in Go. I have also generated executables for Mac/Windows/Linux. But if you want to give it a try, you can: https://github.com/ThomasK81/LightWeightCTSServer Just download the zip-file and follow the instructions. I have not tested it on Windows yet (so any feedback if it works would be appreciated). The app is open source (MIT licensed) and does not cost a thing (you can also run it on a server), but it is the first version and has not properly tested. And so, it comes without warranty.
