Dead simple document host? (sopuli.xyz)

I have a bunch of plain text recipe files on a NAS. If a family member wants to cook something, they ask me to print them a copy.

I’m looking for a simple as possible way to put them on a local web server via a Docker image or similar.

Basically all I need is to have http://recipes.local/ show the list of files, then you can click one to view and or print it.

Don’t want logins. Don’t need ability to edit files. Want something read-only I can set and forget while I continue to manage the content directly on the NAS.

What would you suggest?

I already have SMB but want something easier for non tech family members.

Nginx sounds like the way to go and just symlink www -> recipes

Thanks.

edit to add final update:

  • Installed nginx docker image on NAS
  • Mapped html and config paths to host
  • Enabled directory listing support
  • Added recipes.local to NAS reverse proxy
  • Added recipes.local to RPi CNAMEs
  • Bookmarked the site on kids’ computer
  • permalink
  • fedilink
  • source
