autoindex

Lightweight go web server that provides a searchable directory index. Optimized for handling large numbers of files (100k+) and remote file systems (with high latency) through a continously updated directory cache.

Live demo

Features:

• Lightweight single-page application (~8KB html/css/js)
• Responsive design
• Recursive file search
• Directory cache (sqlite)
• Sitemap support

Usage

./autoindex [options]

Example

./autoindex -a=":4000" -i=5m -d=/tmp/autoindex.db -cached -r=/mnt/storage

Behind nginx

Example configuration for running autoindex behind an nginx proxy.

upstream autoindex {
    server 127.0.0.1:4000;
    keepalive 8;
}

map $request_uri $request_basename {
    ~/(?<captured_request_basename>[^/?]*)(?:\?|$) $captured_request_basename;
}

map $request_uri $idx_path {
    ~/(?<captured_request_args>\?.*)?$                                $captured_request_args;
    ~/(?<captured_request_path>[^?]*)(?<captured_request_args>\?.*)?$ $captured_request_path/$captured_request_args;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl http2;
    listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
    server_name _;

    root /opt/autoindex/public;

    location / {
        rewrite ^/(.*)/$ /$1 permanent;
        try_files $uri /index.html;
        expires 1y;
    }

    location = /index.html {
        http2_push /idx/$idx_path;
        expires 1d;
    }

    location ^~ /dl/ {
        limit_rate 1m;
        add_header Content-Disposition 'attachment; filename="$request_basename"';
        add_header X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow, nosnippet, noarchive";
    }

    location ~ ^(/idx/|/urllist.txt) {
        proxy_pass http://autoindex;
