I used to work at a project where I suggested doing EXACTLY this, because the customers were pretty old-school Microsoft Office users and we had to store lots of documents and organize them.
The idea never caught on because the people didn't find it as a good solution. Happy to see that somebody, somewhere out there has built exactly this and is happy with the outcome ;)
Cheered me up a lot, thanks for sharing!
- bradgessler 10y agoYour welcome! The engineering team got some chuckles out of me deploying WebDAV but it works! I originally wanted to use Dropbox to sync a shared folder, but their Linux client doesn't deploy well in a Docker container. The first attempt at a WebDAV server was nginx, but it had bugs in its WebDAV implementation, so we reached out for good 'ol Apache. The whole thing feels so retro, but it works pretty well and makes it just that much more fun of a solution.
