Apaxy is a custom theme for Apache web server that provides modern and responsive interface for directory listings. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Apaxy on OpenBSD.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to download the latest version of Apaxy theme from the official GitHub repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/oupala/apaxy.git
This command will create a new directory 'apaxy' containing all the necessary files for the theme.
Next, we need to configure Apache to load the Apaxy theme. Open the Apache configuration file using your preferred text editor:
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<Directory "/var/www/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable NameWidth=*
HeaderName /apaxy/header.html
ReadmeName /apaxy/readme.html
AddType text/html .html
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html
</Directory>
Here, we are configuring Apache to use the Apaxy theme for directory listings under the "/var/www/htdocs" directory. The "HeaderName" and "ReadmeName" directives tell Apache to use the header and readme files from the Apaxy directory.
Save the changes and exit the editor.
To test Apaxy, create a new directory under "/var/www/htdocs" and add some files to it:
$ mkdir /var/www/htdocs/test
$ touch /var/www/htdocs/test/index.html
Now, open your web browser and navigate to "http://your-server-ip-address/test/". You should see the Apaxy theme applied to the directory listing.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Apaxy on OpenBSD.
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!
