apaxy is a customisable theme built to enhance the experience of browsing web directories. It uses the mod_autoindex Apache module - and some css - to override the default style of a directory listing.
Apaxy may be basic, but it gives you a great deal of creative freedom when styling your directory.
.htaccess file)Sadly, visual style is all you can work with. It's not possible to alter the generated table structure of the listing directory with Apaxy.
apaxy requires an apache (2.2.11+) http server. The configuration of the apache http server have to set an AllowOverride statement for the Apaxy styled folder:
AllowOverride Options Indexes FileInfoIf you would like, you can automate the installation of Apaxy with the included apaxy-configure.sh script.
To get started, first open apaxy.config in your favorite editor, then edit the apacheWebRootPath and installWebPath variables to correspond to your server's settings. Save the file and exit.
You can set some parameters of apaxy.config on the command line instead of the config file. You can see the documentation of the cli with the following command: apaxy-configure.sh -h.
Then run the configuration script as a user that can write to the installWebPath directory. With apache under debian, this would be the www-data user:
$ sudo -u www-data ./apaxy-configure.shThe files will be copied to the web server directory, and modified automatically based on the settings specified.
Let's assume you have a folder named share in your server root directory (the path thus being http://mywebsite.com/share) that you'd like to use as your listing directory:
/apaxy folder to your /share folderhtaccess.txt (now in the /share folder) and update all instances of paths marked with {FOLDERNAME} to point to your site rootSo...
AddIconByType (gif,{FOLDERNAME}/theme/icons/gif.png) image/gifShould be changed to...
AddIconByType (gif,/share/theme/icons/gif.png) image/gifmv footer-lightgallery.html footer.html
mv header-lightgallery.html header.htmlfooter.html, along with all the other html documents (in the /share/theme folder) and update all instances of paths marked with {FOLDERNAME} to point to your site rootSo...
<script src={FOLDERNAME}/theme/apaxy.js></script>Should be changed to...
<script src=/share/theme/apaxy.js></script>htaccess.txt to .htaccess in the /share directoryA local Demo can be started with docker.
docker-compose upIf you'd like to alter the default Apaxy theme, look in the /theme folder and you'll find the following files:
header.htmlfooter.htmlstyle.cssEdit these as you would any other html or css file.
Adding your own icons is a little more involved. You'll need to edit the main Apaxy .htaccess file. Look for the following as an example:
AddIconByType (gif,{FOLDERNAME}/theme/icons/gif.png) image/gifThe above rule will assign an icon named gif.png from the directory {FOLDERNAME}/theme/icons/ to any file whose media type is image/gif.
This url path is relative to your site's root.
The default apaxy theme /themes/apaxy has icons in place for the following media types:

apaxy owes its existence to the amazing h5ai by Lars Jung. Had I not seen this, I would never have looked into making my own (probably way less useful) version.
