Overview of this book

If you are a developer with BeagleBone experience and want to learn how to use it to set up a network and file server, then this book is ideal for you. To make the most of this book, you should be comfortable with the Linux operating system and know how to install software from the Internet, but you do not have to be a network guru.

Creating your own home page

Now that we have the required software installed and configured, it is time to install our own software. We will start by installing our home page, called index.html, in the directory where Lighttpd expects to find it.

The directory name is /var/www, as shown here:

The software uses a modified version of wfb.php, which is a web-based file browser written in PHP. It is available for download at http://cgdave.github.io/webfilebrowser/.

There are three subdirectories:

  • The wfbtrash directory is used by wfb to store deleted files. This directory must have write privileges enabled or the delete button on the form will not be available.

  • The wfbimages directory is where the icons for the form are stored. If you want to use your own icons, this is where you will put them.

  • The video directory is where we will store all our pre-recorded videos. This directory is the cleanest way of keeping our video files separate from the program files.
