Chrome File Directory — Installation¶
There is no installation. It is static HTML with a folder of PNG icons — no build step, no dependencies, no runtime.
Get the files¶
Or download the latest .zip from
GitHub Releases.
Run it¶
Open index.html in any browser. It works from the filesystem — nothing on the page fetches
anything.
What you need to copy¶
| Path | Required |
|---|---|
index.html |
Yes — this is the page you edit |
icons/ |
Yes — icons are referenced by relative path |
index_chromium.html |
No — reference copy only |
style.css |
Only if you want an external stylesheet; see below |
Copying index.html alone leaves broken images in every row, which is the usual first-time
problem.
About style.css¶
index.html carries its own styling inline and does not link style.css. The stylesheet
is an optional alternative for people who prefer external CSS.
If you use it, note that its icon paths currently point at imgs/ while the icons actually
live in icons/ — see Troubleshooting.
Container image¶
docker pull ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/chrome-file-directory:main
docker run -d -p 8000:80 ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/chrome-file-directory:main
Lowercase image name; GHCR requires it.
