DirectoryLister VS Filestash

This may be https://www.directorylister.com/ ? Ideal for holding / hosting files divided into folders + README.md file

Note: If it helps in any way, the resources I'm trying to upload to the nginx container are the ones related to the Directory Lister installation, so it's not a website actually, but uses index.php.

Ubuntu 22.04 - I've used Directory Lister many times on servers to graphically list files in a directory. I have a new VPS setup with a fresh apache install and php 8.2. I initially had errors with dom and zip not installed that I think I've fixed. I've changed /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/dir.conf to put php first:

DirectoryLister is very lightweight and free. The only thing it doesn't do is password/login, but you could do that at the server level. I use this on a DreamHost shared server, so it definitely works there. It's written in PHP, so it was very easy for me (a non programmer) to edit the footer of the output to include a link to tools located elsewhere.

Directory Lister - Also requires hosting, but free open source file repository platform that makes it easy to have a repository of tools, downloads, etc within an intranet or publicly if necessary.

Directory Lister is pretty cool and the design looks great.

Filestash — A Dropbox-like file manager that connects to a range of protocols and platforms: S3, FTP, SFTP, Minio, Git, WebDAV, Backblaze, LDAP and more.

I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....

> we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash and there's an API from which you can abstract any kind of storage: S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... There's even some funky ones like Mysql from which you have an abstraction where first level folders are databases, second level folders are tables and files are the actual rows

Yes, I rewrote my react app onto vanilla JS using nothing else than rxjs, didn't have the time to document it all yet but it looks like this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

I'm not familiar with Cloudreve, but FileStash is a similar application often recommended on this subreddit.

I do use them on my OSS work (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/pub...) which is used by many thousands of people

This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it.

> but I don't think its the companies responsibility to give back to open source just because they use it

As someone who does quite a bit of OSS, the reality is most people are asking for things but aren't willing to pay for it. Take Microsoft, I had one of their employee asking me to support their azure stuff: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/issues/180. When I found out the dude was actually employed by Microsoft, he started to talk some nonsense and ended up running away.
