Serving static files: How to do directory listing/index? #8

Closed stefandesu closed 3 months ago

stefandesu commented 5 months ago

For some things, we need to have a HTTP server for static files with directory listing enabled. busybox (which I've planned on using for static files) does not support this out of the box, and I wasn't able to figure out how to use their httpd_indexcgi.c script to enable this.

Low priority, but required to replace https://coli-conc.gbv.de/rvk/data/.

Maybe nginx with fancyindex module?

stefandesu commented 4 months ago

That would work. I think I was looking for a very small solution, but I guess a few more MB don't make a big difference.

I also use nginx with https://github.com/Naereen/Nginx-Fancyindex-Theme - this is very useful becasue README.md is shown as well.

stefandesu commented 4 months ago

That looks great! I'll look into getting this to work inside a Docker container.

stefandesu commented 3 months ago

I added the theme as a separate service (because it needs to be available at a subpath for all other services that use it) and it also serves as its own example: https://coli-conc.gbv.de/Nginx-Fancyindex-Theme-light/
