In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps needed to install and configure DirectoryLister on Ubuntu server.
Before we begin, you will need the following:
To install DirectoryLister, we first need to install the required packages. Run the following command to install Apache web server and PHP:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 php libapache2-mod-php php-curl
We will now download DirectoryLister from their website. Run the following command to download the latest version:
sudo wget https://github.com/DirectoryLister/DirectoryLister/archive/master.zip
Next, extract the downloaded ZIP file using the following command:
sudo unzip master.zip
The extracted files should now be in the DirectoryLister-master directory. We need to move these files to the document root of our web server. Run the following command to move the files:
sudo cp -r DirectoryLister-master/* /var/www/html/
Next, we need to configure DirectoryLister by creating the configuration file. Run the following command to create the file:
sudo cp /var/www/html/config.sample.php /var/www/html/config.php
Now, open the newly created config.php file using the following command:
sudo nano /var/www/html/config.php
Change the values in the config.php file based on your preferences.
We now need to set the correct permissions for the files and folders. Run the following commands to set the permissions:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
Finally, we need to restart Apache web server for the changes to take effect. Run the following command to restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
You can now access DirectoryLister by opening your web browser and navigating to http://your_server_IP_address/.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DirectoryLister on your Ubuntu 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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
