Using Nginx and Filebrowser to access files stored on my old laptop (arch) via a web browser in a local network.\n\n## Instructions\n\n1. Install Nginx and Filebrowser:\n\n```sh\nsudo pacman -S nginx\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh | bash\n```\n\n2. Edit Nginx configuration file for http:\n\n```sh\nsudo nvim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf\n```\n- Use this file [nginx.conf](nginx.conf) to direct the http request to the filebrowser service. \n\n3. Start \u0026 Enable Nginx:\n\n```sh\nsudo systemctl start nginx\nsudo systemctl enable nginx\n```\n\n4. Start FileBrowser:\n\n```sh\nsudo filebrowser -r \u003clocation_of_directory_to_serve\u003e -a \u003cip_of_your_old_laptop\u003e -p 8080\n```\n- Access the FileBrowser by navigating to ``http://\u003cip_of_your_old_laptop\u003e:8080`` in a web browser.\n\n- Default credientials:\n    - Username: `admin`\n    - Password: `admin`\n\n### Systemd Service Setup\n5. Create configuration file:\n\n```sh\nsudo nvim /etc/filebrowser/filebrowser.json\n```\n- Use this file [filebrowser.json](filebrowser.json) to hold command-line arguments for server to run automatically.\n\n- Remove the default created filebrowser.db from \u003clocation_of_directory_to_serve\u003e.\n```sh\nsudo rm /\u003clocation_of_directory_to_serve\u003e/filebrowser.db\n```\n\n- Run FileBrowser:\n\n```sh \nsudo filebrowser -c /etc/filebrowser/filebrowser.json\n```\n\n6. Change Permissions for `.json` \u0026 `.db` file:\n\n```sh\nsudo chown \u003cUser\u003e:\u003cGroup\u003e /etc/filebrowser/filebrowser.*\n```\n\n- Note: Set `User` \u0026 `Group` same as in [filebrowser.service](filebrowser.service).\n\n- Check using:\n```sh\nls -la /etc/filebrowser/filebrowser.*\n```\n\n7. Add System service:\n\n```sh\nsudo nvim /etc/systemd/system/filebrowser.service\n```\n\n- Use this file [filebrowser.service](filebrowser.service) to setup service.\n\n8. Run the FileBrowser Service:\n\n```sh\ncd /etc/systemd/system/\nsudo systemctl enable filebrowser.service\nsudo systemctl start filebrowser.service\nsudo systemctl status filebrowser.service\nsudo systemctl restart nginx\n```\n\n## #Note: \nMake the IP address of the server laptop static from the local network router.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxaxm007%2Fhimeserv","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxaxm007%2Fhimeserv","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxaxm007%2Fhimeserv/lists"}
