Advanced topics

Access Control

Dufs supports path level access control. You can control who can do what on which path with --auth/-a.

dufs -a <path>@<readwrite>
dufs -a <path>@<readwrite>@<readonly>
dufs -a <path>@<readwrite>@*

• <path>: Protected url path
• <readwrite>: Account with readwrite permissions. If dufs is run with dufs --allow-all, the permissions are upload/delete/search/view/download. If dufs is run with dufs --allow-upload, the permissions are upload/view/download.
• <readonly>: Account with readonly permissions. The permissions are search/view/download if dufs allow search, otherwise view/download..

dufs -A -a /@admin:admin

admin has all permissions for all paths.

dufs -A -a /@admin:admin@guest:guest

guest has readonly permissions for all paths.

dufs -A -a /@admin:admin@*

All paths is public, everyone can view/download it.

dufs -A -a /@admin:admin -a /user1@user1:pass1 -a /user2@pass2:user2

user1 has all permissions for /user1* path. user2 has all permissions for /user2* path.

dufs -a /@admin:admin

Since dufs only allows viewing/downloading, admin can only view/download files.

Hide Paths

Dufs supports hiding paths from directory listings via option --hidden <glob>,....

dufs --hidden .git,.DS_Store,tmp

The glob used in --hidden only matches file and directory names, not paths. So --hidden dir1/file is invalid.

dufs --hidden '.*'            # hidden dotfiles
dufs --hidden '*/'            # hidden all folders
dufs --hidden '*.log,*.lock'  # hidden by exts

Log Format

Dufs supports customize http log format with option --log-format.

The log format can use following variables.

variable	description
$remote_addr	client address
$remote_user	user name supplied with authentication
$request	full original request line
$status	response status
$http_	arbitrary request header field. examples: $http_user_agent, $http_referer

The default log format is '$remote_addr "$request" $status'.

2022-08-06T06:59:31+08:00 INFO - 127.0.0.1 "GET /" 200

Disable http log

dufs --log-format=''

Log user-agent

dufs --log-format '$remote_addr "$request" $status $http_user_agent'

2022-08-06T06:53:55+08:00 INFO - 127.0.0.1 "GET /" 200 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/104.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Log remote-user

dufs --log-format '$remote_addr $remote_user "$request" $status' -a /@admin:admin -a /folder1@user1:pass1

2022-08-06T07:04:37+08:00 INFO - 127.0.0.1 admin "GET /" 200

Environment variables

All options can be set using environment variables prefixed with DUFS_.

dufs --port 8080 --allow-all is equal to DUFS_PORT=8080 DUFS_ALLOW_ALL=true dufs.

Customize UI

Dufs allows users to customize the UI with your own assets.

dufs --assets my-assets-dir/
