Dufs
dufs is a self-hosted file manager and static file server that provides HTTP file hosting and WebDAV capabilities. It functions as a tool for sharing files over HTTP and managing folders remotely through both a web-based interface and the WebDAV protocol.
The server distinguishes itself by mapping incoming requests directly to a local directory structure and offering a single-binary distribution for deployment. It supports the mounting of the server as a network drive via WebDAV and allows for the replacement of the default web interface using customizable asset overlays.
The project covers a broad range of capabilities including account-based and path-based access control, TLS encryption, and resumable file transfers for large data movements. It includes utilities for directory archiving, glob-based file listing exclusion, and a search interface for locating files. Additional features include support for single-page application routing and customizable HTTP logging.
