DirectoryLister is a powerful PHP-based tool that allows you to create directory listings on your web server. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of DirectoryLister on EndeavourOS.
Before we start, we need to make sure that our system meets the following requirements:
Here are the steps to install DirectoryLister on EndeavourOS:
First, we need to download DirectoryLister from the official website. To do this, open your terminal and type the following command:
wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/archive/refs/tags/v2.9.1.tar.gz
After downloading, extract the downloaded files using the following command:
tar -xvzf v2.9.1.tar.gz
Next, we need to move the extracted folder to our web server's directory. For example, let's move it to the default web directory:
sudo mv DirectoryLister-2.9.1/ /var/www/html/DirectoryLister
Give appropriate permissions to the DirectoryLister folder by executing the following command:
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/DirectoryLister
Finally, for configuration access the config.php file present inside the DirectoryLister directory:
sudo nano /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/sys/config.php
Replace the default values in the following lines:
$allowed_ext = 'txt|pdf|zip|tgz|gz|rar|iso|bz2|doc|xls|exe|ppt|mp3|mp4';
$char_set = 'UTF-8';
$zip_ext = 'zip';
$hidden_files = array('.htaccess');
Restart the web server to apply the changes done in the configuration file:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed DirectoryLister on EndeavourOS. You can access it by navigating to http://localhost/DirectoryLister/ in your web browser. Now you can easily create directory listings on your web server.
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!
