Nginx File Directory — Installation

There is no installation. It is one static HTML file — no build step, no dependencies, no runtime.

Get it

git clone https://github.com/willtheorangeguy/Nginx-File-Directory.git
cd Nginx-File-Directory

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

Just index.html.

This is the simplest of the three file-directory projects: there are no icons and no stylesheet, so the whole deployment is one file. Its Apache and Chrome siblings both need an icons/ folder alongside; this one does not.

Requirements

A text editor, to make the page describe your files rather than the examples. Turn off format-on-save first — see Usage.

Container image

docker pull ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/nginx-file-directory:main
docker run -d -p 8000:80 ghcr.io/willtheorangeguy/nginx-file-directory:main

The image name is lowercase; GHCR requires it. See Deployment.
