Webdav is a grate way of sharing your folder with multiple devices.
After you setup your nginx server you want to create new “site”.
# /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/webdav
server {
server_name <server name>;
root <path you want to share>;
location / {
# Required for proper use of folder manipulation
if (-d $request_filename) { rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ break; }
if ($request_method = MKCOL) { rewrite ^(.*[^/])$ $1/ break; }
dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;
dav_access user:rw group:rw all:rw;
client_max_body_size 0;
create_full_put_path on;
client_body_temp_path /tmp/;
#auth_pam "Restricted";
#auth_pam_service_name "common-auth";
auth_basic "Restricted";
auth_basic_user_file <path with apache2 passwords>
autoindex on;
}
}
To enable it run
ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/webdav /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/webdav
and
systemctl restart nginx
to restart nginx.
