DirectoryLister is a web-based application that allows you to list the contents of a directory on a web server. In this tutorial, we will be installing DirectoryLister on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
First, download the latest version of DirectoryLister from the official website. You can use the following command to download the latest version:
wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/archive/main.zip
Next, extract the downloaded archive using the following command:
unzip main.zip
This will extract the DirectoryLister files into a directory called DirectoryLister-main.
Before we can start using DirectoryLister, we need to configure the database. Open the config.php file located in the DirectoryLister-main directory:
nano DirectoryLister-main/config.php
Edit the following lines in the config.php file to include your database information:
$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['username'] = 'root';
$config['db']['password'] = 'password';
$config['db']['database'] = 'database_name';
Make sure to replace localhost, root, password, and database_name with your own database information.
Save and close the file.
Next, move the DirectoryLister-main folder to the web server directory. In this example, we will move it to the var/www/html directory:
sudo mv DirectoryLister-main /var/www/html/DirectoryLister
Now, we need to create a virtual host for DirectoryLister. Open the Apache configuration file using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/directorylister.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName directorylister.local
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/DirectoryLister
<Directory /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Next, enable the virtual host using the following command:
sudo a2ensite directorylister.conf
Finally, restart Apache to apply the changes using the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
You can now access DirectoryLister by navigating to http://directorylister.local in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on Elementary OS 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!
