Preview text file

Specific Demand

Sometimes I want to have a way to view my configuration files (yml) without downloading it into my machine first.

Implement Suggestion

We've already had an edit panel inside dufs. I think we could just add an eye icon and when that button is clicked, we open the editor without allowing editing.

Thank you for a wonderful software and I can send a PR if you think this make sense.

Putting configuration config.yaml under the dufs's serve path is dangerous. Strongly recommend users not to do this.

Ah no, not the config.yaml of dufs. I use dufs to browsing the content of several docker named volumes cause I don't want to go with the terminal. And of course, it is only accessible with a VPN.

Edit: For more context, I use some kind of Infra-as-Code to generate pretty much every configuration files in my docker stack. Sometime, thing does not work out as expected and I want to view what is wrong with my configuration file on some docker named volumes. I know I can click on edit button and not edit it. But I guess a view only button seems more reassuring.

I misunderstood.
You can directly view the text file by clicking it's link.

I guess it is browser specified. Because when I tried to do the same thing with firefox, it will download that file instead of showing previewing. It does show a preview for xml and json but not yaml

#301 supports this feature.
