⁠docker-webdav-nginx

Runs a Nginx WebDav server in Docker

• Source code: GitHub⁠
• Docker container: Docker Hub⁠
• Image base: Debian⁠
• Init system: N/A
• Application: Nginx⁠
• Architecture: linux/amd64,linux/arm64,linux/arm/v7

⁠Explanation

• Runs a Nginx WebDav server in Docker.
• Exposes two WebDav locations
  • http://localhost/public - No authentication
  • http://localhost/restricted - Authentication if specified (see below)

⁠Requirements

• Requires a WebDav client.
• I've found that not all clients are compatible (e.g., for me, Dolphin doesn't work, but Thunar does).
• I prefer to use Docker volumes⁠ for storage, as bind mounts⁠ might cause permissions issues when creating the required directories.
