About
A while back I discovered that some of my media devices just do not work with the media streaming service in Home Assistant (HA), when streaming from the media directory. After a little digging I discovered that this was due to those devices not supporting authorization. So, I was looking for a simple HTTP server addon for HA, that could serve these files publicly, but was unable to find one, so I made my own. Recently my requirements slightly changed so I decided to go a little mad and over engineer it and now I present it to you.
Public Folders
Public Folders is a Home Assistant (HA) addon that can be used to serve HA directories directly via HTTP without needing to authorize the request though HA. This allows you to either use HA as a quick and dirty webserver for HTML files or allow access to media files for devices that do not support authorization.
Documentation
Documentation can be found here.
Repository
Public Folders is available from my Home Addons repository.
