⁠Linux Filesystem Lab

⁠Description

Linux Filesystem Lab is a Flask-based web application designed to explore and manipulate the Linux filesystem from a web browser. The application allows users to inspect directories, view ls -la-style listings, and create files with specified names, extensions, and content. By default, the app starts in the home directory of the container user.

⁠Features

• ls -la-style directory listing with permissions, owner, group, size, and name
• File creation with customizable filename, extension, and content
• Persistent split layout: "Directory listing" on the left, "Create file" form on the right
• Retro grey + navy theme resembling classic Linux windowing environments

⁠Endpoints

GET /

• Main page displaying the directory listing and file creation form

POST /

• Submits a directory path to inspect
• Submits file creation requests with filename, extension, and content

⁠Configuration

The application listens on port 5000 by default.

You can override the port using the PORT environment variable.

⁠Container Usage

If running in a container, expose and map the chosen port accordingly.

Example:

docker run -p 5000:5000 --name linux-fs-lab 22skowron/linux-fs-lab

Once the application is running, you can open it in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000

⁠Note

ℹ️ This application is intended for learning purposes and experimenting with containers and Kubernetes.
