Custom DirectoryIndex for virtual hosts?

Feature
1

I ran across h5ai (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/) earlier today, and think it’d be kind of neat to set that up as a custom index page for one or two of my virtual hosts. To make that work, though, that vhost needs a custom DirectoryIndex entry–and I’d think that this could be helpful for other folks as well. It seems this would take a config entry for the vhost.

I’m having trouble following the syntax of /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf.d/virtualhosts.conf/20virtual_hosts, which looks like the place where this would be set. Any thoughts on how to modify this?

Take a look at

/etc/e-smith/templates/httpd/vhost-extras/

It is the sub template of the templates you pointed, you need to create a prop to display or not your configuration

h5ai probably is the most popular one on its category (haven’t used it myself but heard of it many years ago). FYI, there are some other alternatives.

@danb35 this how you can read a prop for a specific vhost

https://github.com/stephdl/nethserver-phpsettings/blob/ns7/root/etc/e-smith/templates/httpd/vhost-extra/30directory21PhpAdminValues#L6

$VhostName is the key name and the name of your vhost

so

$phpCustomSettings = $vdb->get_prop("$VhostName",'PhpCustomSettings') || 'disabled';
if ($phpCustomSettings eq 'enabled'){
# do something
} else {
 return "# not enabled in this vhost\n";
}
