Download

You can download the source code to modify the code and create your own file directory page.

You can also access the production version the website, available on all platforms, here.

How To Use

To clone and run this website, you'll need Git installed on your computer. If you would rather not use Git, you can just download the code from GitHub above. From your command line:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/willtheorangeguy/Chrome-File-Directory.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd Chrome-File-Directory

# Run the webpage
$ index.html

You can also pull the Docker image from GitHub Packages. From your command line:

# Pull image
$ docker pull ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/chrome-file-directory:main

# Run container
$ docker run -d -p 8000:80 ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/chrome-file-directory:main

# Now, navigate to localhost in your browser to see the webpage

However, to make this your own directory, either use the index_chromium.html file to create a self generating directory - or use the index.html file to create a custom directory listing with custom links.

Basics

If you would rather have the styling for the page in its own separate location, copy the style.css file to that location and link it in the top of the index.html file. More instructions can be found in CUSTOMIZATION.
Line 69: Update the example placeholder text between the <title> tags with the actual directory name. This will be the title of the webpage.

<title id="title">Index of example</title>

Line 73: Update the :\directory placeholder text between the <h1> tags with the actual directory path. This will be the title displayed on the page.

<h1 id="header">Index of :\directory</h1>

Line 74: If this is a directory inside of another directory, remove the style="display:none" placeholder in the div tag.

<div id="parentDirLinkBox" style="display:none"></div>

Line 75: If this is a directory inside of another directory, change the up/level placeholder in the href="..." tag with the actual link to the folder above.

<a id="parentDirLink" href="up/level" class="icon up"></a>

When you have customized the title, and added folder and file listings following the tutorials below, save the files and upload them to your web server.
You're all set!

  </td>
  <td class="detailsColumn" data-value="0"></td>
