Caddy as a static file page

Help
1

1. My Caddy version (caddy -version):

Caddy v1.0.1-0.20190527141219-14a8ffedd8d4

2. How I run Caddy:

system service

a. System environment:

debian 9

d. My complete Caddyfile:

https://public.sub.domain.com {
  root /vault/fileserver/public
}

3. The problem I’m having:

The filepath above is just a simple folder that has some files (mainly images) that I use in public links. But when I navigate to the link, I get a 404 not found. How can I get it to display a web page file/directory listing. No CSS, no formatting, just a directory listing.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

404 Not Found

5. What I already tried:

The caddyfile above

EDIT: Im currently using GitHub - PierreZ/goStatic: A really small static web server for Docker as a docker image to accomplish my goal of a web server, but if caddy can do it, i’d rather go that route instead of using docker resources.

Have you considered the browse directive?

https://caddyserver.com/v1/docs/browse

3

would the browse directive allow me to continue down the directories and sub directories? or just the top level directory defined in the caddyfile.

4

Yes, browse will turn all indexes under the path you specify into file/directory listings. See docs:

5

related question, but how do I add the browse directive to my environment? All the directives I wanted were installed when caddy was first installed

6

Browse is a standard directive included with the base Caddy binary. Just add browse to your Caddyfile.

@Whitestrake I added the browse directive and restarted Caddy, but I continue to get a 404

https://public.files.redacted.domain {
  browse /gvault/fileserver/public
}

EDIT: I didnt know it still needed a root path. I added this and it worked.
