Server Directory Index

Web server directory index customization with preview, pagination, download — h5ai.

---

SDI — h5ai

Unpack server directory index h5ai to your /www/public/*.*
and access your https://example.com/public or http://localhost

Whatever you drop on the Public folder will automatically be available on the web server and you can easily share the links.

1. Server AutoIndex

Enables or disables automatic directory listing for directories missing an index page.

Add the public directory index to your server configuration.
You can also redirect every access to the /public/ directory.
See how to redirect Apache httpd, lighttpd, and nginx

2. JavaScript Modules

Default server configuration does not serve .mjs
PDF.js requires this Mime Type in your server configuration,
otherwise you'll get a browser error :

Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/html"

See Apache httpd, lighttpd, and nginx to add .mjs JavaScript MIME type.
