Repository   Documentation   Configuration   Building

Introduction

IVFi-PHP is a directory browser with an image and video gallery, hover previews, search, and ZIP downloads. It runs on a PHP web server or through Docker.

Basic listings work without JavaScript; interactive features require it.

Quick setup

1. Download the latest release.
2. Copy the contents of build/ into your web root, such as /var/www/html/.
3. Add indexer.php as a fallback index file in your web-server configuration.

Nginx - inside your server block:

index index.html index.php /indexer.php;

Apache:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php /indexer.php

See setup for standalone and Docker options, configuration for settings, or building to build from source.

Features

• Gallery: browse images and videos, download files, and reverse-search images.
• Hover previews: preview media by hovering over its filename.
• Search: filter filenames with regex or wildcards such as *.mp4 (Shift + F on desktop).
• Downloads: download individual files or a selection as a ZIP archive.
• Standalone: use a single PHP file with embedded assets.
• Customization: themes, saved display preferences, and server-side filters.
• Authentication: optional Digest protection for listings. See authentication.
• Extra features: optional README support.
