DirectoryLister is an open-source application that is used to create directory listings with ease. It allows users to display files and folders on their website in a user-friendly way. Here's how to install DirectoryLister on Linux Mint.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
To download DirectoryLister, open a terminal window and run the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister.git
This will download the application to your current working directory.
To copy the downloaded DirectoryLister to Apache's root directory, run the following command:
$ sudo cp -R DirectoryLister/ /var/www/html/
This will copy DirectoryLister to Apache's default root directory.
To give Apache permissions to access DirectoryLister, run the following command:
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/DirectoryLister
This will give Apache permissions to access DirectoryLister.
To configure DirectoryLister, navigate to "DirectoryLister/resources/config.php" and open it using a text editor. You can customize the settings as per your needs.
To test if DirectoryLister is installed correctly, open a web browser and navigate to "http://localhost/DirectoryLister". You should see a list of files and folders displayed on the webpage.
That's it! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on Linux Mint. You can now use it to display your files and folders on your website.
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!
