Revision as of 14:51, 14 February 2025

You can activate autoindex on the main server folder (/var/www/html/) and/or home folders (~/public_html/).

location ~ ^/~(.+?)(/.*)?$ {
    autoindex on; 
}

To install the fancyindex module:

$ sudo apt install libnginx-mod-http-fancyindex

Then in your nginx config, you can add:

fancyindex on;
