Detailed process of using nginx to build a webdav file server in Ubuntu

Install nginx

Note that you must install nginx-full , the default nginx does not contain the webdav module

$ sudo apt install -y nginx-full

Create relevant folders

# The location used to save shared files$ sudo mkdir -p /home/dav
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /home/dav

Configuration

$ sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/webdav.conf

The content is as follows:

server {
    listen 80;

    server_name localhost;
	# Set to use utf-8 encoding to prevent Chinese file names from being garbled charset utf-8;

	# The default path for storing files is root /home/dav;

    auth_basic realm_name;
    # User password file storage location auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.passwords.list;

    # dav allowed operations dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
    dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;
    
    # Create the default permissions for files dav_access user:rw group:rw all:r;

    # Temporary file location client_body_temp_path /tmp;
    
    # Maximum upload file limit, 0 means unlimited client_max_body_size 0;
    
    # Enable automatic folder creation (if necessary)
    create_full_put_path on;
}

Generate Password

$ echo -n 'lpwm:' | sudo tee /etc/nginx/.passwords.list
$ openssl passwd -apr1 | sudo tee -a /etc/nginx/.passwords.list
# Restart nginx after confirming the password
$ sudo nginx -s reload

Windows Client

You can first use the browser to directly access the server IP to view

I tried to map the network drive directly in Windows File Explorer, but it didn't work! I used a third-party client: RaiDrive , which is quite conscientious. The standard version is free and supports up to 8 drives, which is obviously enough!

Download from official website: https://www.raidrive.com/download

After installation, you need to add server configuration:

Note that you can use the http protocol only if you uncheck Address , otherwise you can only use https by default

After adding, the mapped drive in the file explorer will be automatically opened
