<p>FTP, SMB, SSH, HTTP... The list goes on.</p>
<p>There are many ways to serve files. Here is a quick note of how I edited the
default raspbian nginx conf files to enable a simple directory with browsing to
be served from a raspberry pi</p>
<hr />
<ol>
<li>
<p>Install nginx-light</p>
<pre><code>sudo apt-get install nginx-light -y
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Make sure group <code>other</code> has x permissions all the way up the tree to where
content will be served from. <em>Security warning</em> I recommend only doing this
on an internally facing pi.</p>
<pre><code>sudo chmod o+x /media /media/JesseHD /media/JesseHD/Movies
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default, uncomment the last server section</p>
<pre><code>server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name 192.168.178.88;
root /media/JesseHD/Movies;
autoindex on;
}
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Restart nginx</p>
<pre><code>sudo systemctl restart nginx
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
