How to Install DirectoryLister on Fedora Server Latest

Introduction

DirectoryLister is an open-source web application that allows users to list the files and directories on a web server. It comes with a simple web interface that can be customized to fit your needs. In this tutorial, we will cover the steps required to install and set up DirectoryLister on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, ensure that you have the following:

• Fedora Server Latest.
• A user account with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Update the System

Ensure your system is up to date by running the following command:

sudo dnf update -y

Step 2: Install Apache Web Server

The Apache web server is a necessary component to serve web content. Install it by running the following command:

sudo dnf install httpd -y

After the installation process completes, start the Apache service, then enable it to start at boot time.

sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

Step 3: Install PHP and its Dependencies

DirectoryLister is written in PHP, therefore you will need to install it and its dependencies. Run the following command:

sudo dnf install -y php php-common php-cli php-json php-mbstring php-zip php-gd

Step 4: Install DirectoryLister

Download the latest version of DirectoryLister from the official website, then use the following command to extract the archive:

sudo dnf install unzip
wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/releases/download/2.9.2/DirectoryLister-2.9.2.zip
unzip DirectoryLister-2.9.2.zip -d /var/www/html/

Step 5: Configure Apache for DirectoryLister

As you successfully installed directorylister in /var/www/html/, you can now configure apache to serve it. Create a configuration file for DirectoryLister:

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

Add the following content to the file:

Alias /files /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/public
<Directory /var/www/html/DirectoryLister/public>
   Require all granted
   AllowOverride None
   Options None
   DirectoryIndex index.php
</Directory>

Then save and exit from the file.

Step 6: Restart Apache

After finishing the configuration, apply the changes by restarting the Apache service:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 7: Access DirectoryLister Web Interface

Open your web browser and type http:///files in the address bar. Replace with your server IP address. You will see the DirectoryLister interface.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've successfully installed DirectoryLister on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now list your server files over the internet.

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!
