I actually did that as a part of Google Summer of Code: https://github.com/LibraryBox-Dev/alexandria

The goal was to make LibraryBox, but with just a little more frontend and a little more flexibility. It had a lot of the earliest things: Simple wifi support, and was built to enable you to add services like Gopher, maybe Gemini, IRC, etc.

In the end, there was not quite enough interest. Jason moved up in the ranks of the then Berkman Kline center, 2018 became a very touchy time for things.

You can easily run Alexandria, which at its core is a very basic directory browser, the admin panel can be turned off. I wanted to add the ability to upload & expand archives of files, but couldn't find a good way to do that at the time.
