Files with beginning . not writable about docker-nginx-webdav-nononsense

Hidden files should not even be visible. Are you seeing them through WebDav?

I have never tried it, but I believe that nginx and autoindex (which I use) do not have this functionality.

Via some googling, it seems that nginx itself ignores files starting with a dot.

Please investigate this a little, if this is an option I am not aware about, I may write about it in the README file.

It's not visible (even if you say "Show hidden files"), but is accessible if you know the name. Tested by creating a file on the file system.

Then I pushed a ".hiddenfile" onto the webdav. That worked and she arrived but couldn't see it.

I didn’t even know it would access hidden files. As hidden are not supported upstream, I don’t think that I can do anything.

If you discover a setting meanwhile, I’ll be happy to assist. But I do not expect one to exist.

In general, you should google for how to display or edit hidden files on nginx and autoindex. This is not an issue of WebDAV, it comes from nginx.

When I gave it a quick search earlier on, I found that it is not possible because it is not supported upstream (upstream = all the projects I am building upon).
But, in case you find some settings, feel free to report them here, and I will look at them.

My image has all the configuration files accessible in case you want to test things. nginx.conf is here and http.conf, server.conf, and location.conf are here. You can really try out everything you find.

Yeah, this person has the same problem, but there is no solution posted there.

I will label this as invalid and close it, but you are welcome to reopen it in case you find anything. Good luck!

I figured out, that this is a bug in old nginx version. You use ubuntu 20.04?
Now I use this docker and it can handle hidden files: https://hub.docker.com/r/aguslr/apache-dav

That is Apache HTTP, not nginx :-) it’s another project and software. This project is about bringing WebDAV to nginx
