About:
Phodav is a lightweight WebDAV server implementation built on the libsoup HTTP library. It provides a standards-compliant way to share files over a network using the WebDAV protocol (RFC 4918). Its main value is offering a simple, dependency-friendly server for GNOME-based systems or applications needing integrated WebDAV capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Built on libsoup for lightweight and efficient HTTP handling
  • Compliant with WebDAV RFC 4918 specifications
  • Provides both a library for integration and a command-line server utility
  • Integrates well with the GNOME ecosystem
Use Cases:
  • Enabling file sharing between virtual machines and host systems
  • Creating a simple network file server for Linux desktop environments
  • Integrating WebDAV server functionality into custom applications
Alternatives:
  • apache-httpd – Apache is a full-featured web server with mod_dav module, but is significantly heavier and more complex to configure than Phodav.
  • nginx – Nginx supports WebDAV but often requires recompiling with specific modules; Phodav offers a more integrated solution for desktop environments.
