Autoindexcms is a website builder that allows you quickly make websites by adding files to a folder. Rather than being a heavy CMS, it is based on leveraging Apache webserver’s default mod_autoindex which is low on resources and memory. mod_autoindex makes navigable lists of files and folders on the webserver. Autoindexcms.js then automatically expands all images and text or HTML snippets in the directory to produce web pages without the need for you to write any HTML.

From about 2014 to 2017 this website was powered by autoindexcms and it inspired other projects such as distribusi. Autoindexcms is one of the projects described in R&D.

Here are the code, the CSS and the HOWTO:
