Read-only by design
Mount your directory read-only. Add password protection when the files are not for everyone.
v5.0 Your files, beautifully indexed
Turn any folder into a fast, polished file browser.
A secure, read-only directory listing with search, previews, metadata and a JSON API—packaged in one tiny Docker image.
~10MB memory1 image to deploy0 writes to your files
Deploy in sixty seconds
One command.
Your files are live.
Point the container at any local folder and open localhost:8080. No database setup, no build step, no config file required.
Terminal
$ docker run --rm -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd):/var/www/html/public:ro -v rdb:/var/lib/redis/ adrianschubek/dir-browserBuilt for the real web
Simple on the surface.
Serious underneath.
Everything you need to share a directory without turning it into another infrastructure project.
02
Nginx at full speed
Files are served directly by Nginx for low memory use and excellent performance at any scale.
03
More than a list
Search, sorting, README rendering, hashes, labels, download counters and a clean JSON API.

Useful details.
Built right in.

Know what gets downloaded.
Persistent Redis-backed counters track every file—even files included in a batch download.

Find it fast.
Search deep collections and sort by the details that matter.
03 Batch downloads
One click. One archive.
Bundle selected files or an entire folder into a streaming ZIP.

Context beside the content.
Render Markdown automatically, above or below the file list.

Verify every byte.
Generate hashes and require integrity checks before a file is served.
06 Metadata & API
Made for humans and machines.
Add labels and descriptions, preview file details, or consume everything through a clean JSON API.
