How to Install DirectoryLister on Alpine Linux Latest?

DirectoryLister is a simple PHP-based web application that displays the contents of a directory on your web server. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of DirectoryLister on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need:

• A server running Alpine Linux Latest
• Root access or sudo privileges

Step 1: Install required dependencies

Before proceeding with the installation process, we need to install some dependencies required for the DirectoryLister to work correctly. Run the following command to install PHP and Apache:

sudo apk add apache2 php7-apache2

Step 2: Download and extract DirectoryLister

Next, we need to download and extract the latest version of the DirectoryLister. Run the following command in your terminal:

sudo wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/archive/master.zip
sudo unzip master.zip -d /var/www/localhost/htdocs/

Step 3: Configure Apache

We need to configure Apache to serve the DirectoryLister application. We will create a new virtual host file for our application. Run the following command to create the file:

sudo nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/directorylister.conf

Paste the following content inside the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/DirectoryLister-master
    <Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/DirectoryLister-master>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 4: Restart Apache

After making the necessary changes, we need to restart the Apache server to apply the changes. Run the following command:

sudo service apache2 restart

Step 5: Access DirectoryLister

Open your web browser and enter the IP address or domain name of your server followed by /DirectoryLister-master. For example, http://your_ip_address/DirectoryLister-master.

You will see the contents of your server's root directory displayed on your screen.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on Alpine Linux Latest.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
