Acces public share folder from anywhere

Hello everyone !

New OMV user here

I am using OMV version 7.2.1-1 (SANDWORM), and i have a share setup in witch the file public is available.

I want this file te be accessed easely in read and download for anyone anywhere without any login.

I tried using webdav on the OMV server and well it kinda works, and you can try it too by goint to: nas.mathieujordan.be/webdav

Only problem is when i put a file in the public folder, like the test.txt that is in there, i cannot download it from the webdav, nor open it by clicking as it tries to redirect to: nas.mathieujordan.be/test.txt.

Witch is obviously not a usable URL in OMV, and so gives an expected 404 fatal error.

Can you help me resolve this issue, and / or maybe give me another more suitable solution to resolve my problem ?

Thank you all !

Thanks to all of you for your answers !

I tried and finally settled on the fact that i can use the filebrowser plugin to create a public share available to anyone with the link so it does the job

Have a nice one !

UPDATE :

I just played with the config file a bit trying the solution pepeq mentioned here:

I found a workaround.

There is an error in the nginx configuration, which the OMV-webdav plugin creates.

Change in the file (created by OMV webdav plugin)

Code

Code

/etc/nginx/openmediavault-webgui.d/openmediavault-webdav.conf

the keyword "alias" to "root":

For example:

Change

Code

Code

alias /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-108A908E8A907248/transfer/;

to

Code

Code

root /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-108A908E8A907248/transfer/;

But OMV overwrites your changes if you save the webdav plugin settings in the web interface.

But it didn't work for me.

What worked is putting "webdav/" after every rewrite statements in the file like this:

location /webdav {
    alias /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/partage/public/;
    dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
    dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS LOCK UNLOCK;
    dav_ext_lock zone=foo;
    dav_access  user:rw group:rw;
    create_full_put_path on;
    client_body_temp_path /srv/client_temp;
    autoindex on;
    error_page 404 /_404;
    if ($request_method = MKCOL) {
        rewrite ^(.*[^/webdav/])$ $1/;
    }
    set $destination $http_destination;
    set $parse "";
    if ($request_method = MOVE) {
        set $parse "${parse}M";
    }
    if ($request_method = COPY) {
        set $parse "${parse}M";
    }
    if (-d $request_filename) {
        rewrite ^(.*[^/webdav/])$ $1/;
        set $parse "${parse}D";
    }
    if ($destination ~ ^(https?://.+)$) {
        set $ob $1;
        set $parse "${parse}R${ob}";
    }
    if ($parse ~ ^MDR(.*[^/webdav/])$) {
        set $mvpath $1;
        set $destination "${mvpath}/webdav/";
        more_set_input_headers "Destination: $destination";
    }

}

So now my auto rewrites works just fine !

Hope this solution is helpful to some, and mayby ryecoaaron can tell us if this is bad for omv or the webdav plugin
