Here is how you can read the entire file contents, and if done successfully, start a webserver which displays the JPG image in response to every request:
var http = require('http')
var fs = require('fs')
fs.readFile('image.jpg', function(err, data) {
if (err) throw err // Fail if the file can't be read.
http.createServer(function(req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'image/jpeg'})
res.end(data) // Send the file data to the browser.
}).listen(8124)
console.log('Server running at http://localhost:8124/')
})
Note that the server is launched by the "readFile" callback function and the response header has Content-Type: image/jpeg.
[Edit] You could even embed the image in an HTML page directly by using an <img> with a data URI source. For example:
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
res.write('<html><body><img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,')
res.write(Buffer.from(data).toString('base64'));
res.end('"/></body></html>');
