Chrome File Directory — Quickstart¶
1. See it¶
Live at https://willtheorangeguy.github.io/Chrome-File-Directory/, or locally:
Open index.html in a browser. No server needed.
2. Use the right file¶
| File | Use it? |
|---|---|
index.html |
Yes. 135 lines, simplified, meant to be edited |
index_chromium.html |
No. The original Chromium page, 512 lines with JavaScript, kept as reference |
Editing the wrong one is the easiest mistake here — see Architecture.
3. Make it yours¶
Open index.html in a text editor, set the title, and add a row per file or folder following
the examples already there.
Then delete the example rows you did not use — they point at files that do not exist, and nothing will warn you.
Full walkthrough in Usage.
4. Publish¶
Copy index.html and the icons/ folder to your web server. Icons are referenced by
relative path, so leaving the folder behind gives broken images.
Other options in Deployment.
Try it in Docker¶
Then http://localhost:8000/. The image name is lowercase — GHCR requires it.
Know this before you use it¶
It does not list a real directory. It shows exactly what you typed and nothing more. See FAQ.
