DirForge
A stateless, read-only web file browser for homelab and NAS power users. No database, no background workers, no disk writes - just point it at a mounted path and go.
Browse files in a clean web UI with search, previews, and archive inspection. Download individual files or entire folders as ZIP. Access the same data through a RESTful JSON API, an S3-compatible endpoint for tools like rclone, a read-only WebDAV mount for native OS file managers, or an MCP server for AI assistants. Everything runs in a single stateless container with no external dependencies.
