Lighttpd + webdav-js quickstart configuration file

Base configuration file for quickly setting up a Lighttpd webserver with WebDAV support, seamless webdav-js web UI integration for managing files within any modern web browser and a fallback URL prefix serving old-school file indexes

Prerequisites

• Lighttpd with mod_webdav and mod_openssl (For HTTPS, you may as well use other SSL library module if you wish)
  In Debian/Ubuntu: apt install lighttpd lighttpd-mod-webdav lighttpd-mod-openssl
• A directory of your choice containing the files and subdirectories you want to serve (The WebDAV server root)
• A separate directory for storing the static webdav-js assets. It is recommended to keep it outside the WebDAV server root
  This directory should only contain another directory named dav-assets, inside which you should place:
  • The index.html file from this repository
  • webdav-min.js from here at the webdav-js repo
  • style-min.css from here at the webdav-js repo
  • (Optional) a favicon.ico of your choice

Setting up

1. Get the lighttpd-webdavjs.conf configuration template from this repo and read through the file filling variables as you need where indicated
2. Try the config: /usr/sbin/lighttpd -D -f /path/to/your/lighttpd-webdavjs.conf
3. Once successfully working, you're all set! You may now use your distro-specific means to set it up as a permanent service. In Debian/Ubuntu overwrite /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf with your custom config file
