history

Project history and usage

Phodav, officially styled PhởDAV, is a libsoup-based WebDAV server implementation maintained in the GNOME project.

Project history

Phodav is maintained within GNOME as a libsoup-based DAV server implementation. Its official component listing identifies Marc-André Lureau as maintainer.

Adoption history

Phodav is packaged across Homebrew, Nix, Debian-family, RPM-family, Arch, Alpine, and Windows ecosystems according to source_facts.package-manager. Several distributions expose its chezdav command separately, while Windows packaging emphasizes Spice WebDAV integration.

How it is used

Users run chezdav to expose files through WebDAV or use spice-webdavd as part of SPICE guest folder-sharing workflows.

Why package nerds care

Phodav is notable as a compact GNOME-stack implementation of an interoperable WebDAV server. It also illustrates how one source project can surface under different package and executable names, notably phodav, chezdav, and spice-webdavd.

Timeline

  • GNOME era: Phodav became a GNOME-hosted component providing DAV server functionality through libsoup.
  • Current packaging: Distributions commonly ship the chezdav and spice-webdavd executables from the project.

Related projects

  • libsoup supplies the GNOME HTTP stack used by Phodav.
  • SPICE uses spice-webdavd for WebDAV-based folder sharing between hosts and guests.
