About¶

Lawwenda provides access to a directory in your filesystem by means of a web interface. Users can navigate to it with any modern web browser and see your files.

For real usage (i.e. “production systems”) it is hosted in a wsgi compatible web server. This is a very common standard for hosting Python web applications and is supported by most widespread web server daemons.

The most noteworthy features are:

Comfortable web browser interface that lists the files and subdirectories in a directory, shows some details of them, and allows to open (i.e. “download”) them; in a similar way to usual desktop file managers.
Can be either read-only or also with write access, i.e. uploading, renaming, moving, deleting data.
Can be password protected or not. In the latter case, your web server may put another authentication method around it.
Supports some “modern” file attributes like a comment, tags, a rating and a geographic position; backed by “extended attributes” on file system level.
A configuration specifies one or many “shares” (or none), each one potentially pointing to another directory and with an individual setup (incl. individual passwords).
Shares can have file exclude criteria (path patterns, tags, …).
Shares can have expiration dates.
User interface works fine on desktop machines and mobile phones.
Alternatively to the web browser interface, users can connect to a share with a WebDAV client or compatible file manager (modern file managers should be compatible).
Extensible by plugging in custom Python modules, with a friendly, rich and well documented api.
Thoroughly designed with security in mind.
