In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DirectoryLister on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before we begin, here are the things you need to prepare:
First, update your system by running the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
DirectoryLister requires Apache web server to run. To install Apache, run this command:
sudo apt install apache2 -y
Once Apache is installed, start the server by running this command:
sudo systemctl start apache2
You can check if Apache is running by opening your web browser and entering http://localhost. You should see the Apache default page.
DirectoryLister also requires PHP. To install PHP, run this command:
sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php -y
Now, let's download DirectoryLister from their official website. You can use wget to download it directly on your terminal:
wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/releases/download/v2.8.0/DirectoryLister-2.8.0.zip
Once downloaded, extract the contents of the zip file by running this command:
unzip DirectoryLister-2.8.0.zip
After you have extracted the files, move the DirectoryLister folder to your web directory:
sudo mv DirectoryLister /var/www/html/directorylister
Before you can use DirectoryLister, you need to set the correct permissions. Run the following commands:
cd /var/www/html/directorylister/
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
Now that you have installed and configured DirectoryLister, you can access it by opening your web browser and entering http://localhost/directorylister. You should see the DirectoryLister interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on your POP! OS. You can now start organizing your files and folders using the DirectoryLister interface.
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!
