[5 Minutes Docker Series] Deploy A Free File List App for Multiple Cloud Storages - Alist

AList is a file list program that supports multiple storage, powered by Gin (back end) and Solidjs (front end). It is similar as some other programs I used before in this blog. You can find related posts regarding them, such as OnePoint, GoIndex, OneManager, FODI (Fast OneDrive Index), :

• Use Cloudflare Workers with Rclone to Deploy A Cloud Drive Index & List App - OnePoint
• Using Cloudflare Workers to Deploy Free Google Drive Directory Indexer in 5 Minutes (GoIndex)
• Fast OneDrive Index (FODI)- A Serverless OneDrive Index Setup
• OneManager - Deploy a free OneDrive List App using Heroku and Cloudflare
• OlaIndex

Unfortunately, most of those programs are not actively maintained although they are still working fine as long as you configured them correctly. AList is still actively developing at their Github site. I am really hoping the author found a good way to continue this Open Source project for a longer time. 

So far, based on my experience and testing for all of those Cloud Drive File Listing program, AList is best, OnePoint is second. Others are still having some critical function / feature missing.

Easy to use but easy to violate ToS too.

Notes: 

There are some issues for Heroku deployment. Here is one FAQ post mentions some issues:  https://elements.heroku.com/buttons/cqchenqin/alist-heroku

Free Database for PaaS Deployment

You may need to use another remote MySQL database as instance restarts will lose data. Recommended Free MySQL Databases:

• https://db4free.net/
• https://remotemysql.com/
• https://www.freesqldatabase.com/

Add Storages

Local 

Google Drive:

If you have your own Client ID, Client Secret, and refresh token, you can directly paste them in here. As to how to get your own Google Drive's following information, I will put them into another post to talk about it. 

To make it simple, you can use a default client id / client secret to generate your refresh_token for your Google drive folder, using https://tool.nn.ci/google/request:

After you collected all those information, you can enter them into this AList page to add your Google Drive folder to show all the files / folders. 

OneDrive:

Same as Google Drive, it had better to have your own client id 

To make it simple, we also can use  https://tool.nn.ci/onedrive/request to generate all information.
