code-otto / lighttpd-webdavjs-conf Goto Github PK

Thanks for this fantastic configuration! It was extremely helpful getting a nice WebDAV interface on my OpenWrt router.

The Wiki for OpenWrt has a /very/ basic configuration which requires a copy of webdav-js for each served folder. My intention is to update the wiki with an adaptation of your solution (with attribution). It has to, however, play nicely with other configurations since lighttpd is also serving up my router's UI.

In the short term, I was able to get it to play nicely by surrounding the WebDAV configuration with a $SERVER directive. I then added in some basic auth and proceeded with an adaptation of your config...

$SERVER["socket"] == "192.168.11.1:8080" {

  auth.backend = "plain"
  auth.backend.plain.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/webdav.shadow"
  auth.require = (
    "/" => ("method" => "basic", "realm" => "disk", "require" => "valid-user")
  )
  auth.cache = ("max-age" => "3600")

  #Directory to be served over WebDAV
  server.document-root = "/mnt/trunk/"
  #Enable/disable read-only access
  webdav.is-readonly = "disable"

  ...

I wanted to suggest that your solution would be much more universal if it was designed as drop-in configuration to tack onto existing configurations by adding, say, a 50-weddav.conf file into /etc/lighttpd/conf.d and was written such that it complements existing setups. So it could be set to work with address/webdav/ and address/webdav/basic/. As is stands, it assumes it will be all that lighttp is doing.

In any case, thanks again for doing this. It has been a great help.
