Nginx reverse proxy disable listing directories - autoindex

I have a reverse nginx proxy

   location / {
         autoindex off;
         proxy_set_header HOST $host;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
         proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
         proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
         proxy_pass http://owncloud/;
    }

Now I want to prevent that users can go to https://url.tld/data and view the folder content... autoindex off; is not working.

I want to achieve this without changing the (owncloud) .htaccess because it's inside a docker container.

In which way is this possible?

Solution

  • I Solved it (thanks to @Doon) by blocking the access to the /data directory.

    location /data {
     deny all;
     return 403;
}

    You have to return 403 -> Forbidden (not 404) to pass the owncloud access test.
