You lose nothing by being actually helpful in a help thread.

I cant understand your point.

I tryed to help you, asked you for some steps for I can see your config to find issue but you say you already removed it...

did try to add the path in the config via Source

Please post your config and steps you made for adding path.

Note: latest (beta) docker version has bug https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser/issues/1618#issuecomment-3559740378

So changed tag to stable for xml template

I changed signup: true and reloaded the docker in order to allow new user sign-up. I confirmed showing in yaml. Doesn't seem to do anything.

Am I missing something relating to signup?

Update can you post the actual settings and full path syntax that are suggested?

Do these settings look right? Seems to be a relative path with another config.yaml below data but not a complete list of settings:

Here is an easier way to install "FileBrowser Quantum" via plugins.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/insomnia417/Unraid-FileBrowser_Quantum-Plugins/refs/heads/main/FileBrowser_Quantum.plg

I installed this this morning and have it up and running, can sign into FB and create users BUT I cant create folders, files or upload any. My directory looks like this:

root@Tower:/mnt/user/FileBrowser# ls -al

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 10 Jan 11 14:36 ./

drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 180 Jan 11 14:29 ../

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 20 Jan 11 14:22 Files/

with Files looking like this

root@Tower:/mnt/user/FileBrowser/Files# ls -al

total 0

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 20 Jan 11 14:22 ./

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 10 Jan 11 14:36 ../

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 0 Jan 11 14:22 files/

drwxrwxrwx 1 1000 users 18 Jan 11 13:51 users/

configuration shows this:

/srv is pointing at /mnt/user/FileBrowser/Files

and the log doesnt show any errors from trying to create folders or upload files.

any thoughts on what Im missing? Thanks!

Edit: I just realized that changing the admin password isnt being saved.

Edit2: A FileBrowser update seems to have fixed the issue.

There appears to be an invalid option in your default config file. When I first started the container today, I got the following error message before the thing crashed:

Once I commented out the offending config line, things came up perfectly. Appreciate your work getting an UnRaid template created and providing such good instructions!

@Masterwishx

Just to let you know that your template is incorrect.
FILEBROWSER_CONFIG : data/config.yaml doesn't work. The correct value is config.yaml, without the data/ path.

Strange my container still working fine , and cant see changes in docker hub :

ENV FILEBROWSER_DATABASE=/home/filebrowser/data/database.db0

ENV FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=/home/filebrowser/data/config.yaml

What is the status with noted error previously:
2026/05/19 10:14:33 [DEBUG] Default SQLite driver initialized

2026/05/19 10:14:33 [ERROR] unable to load config, waiting 5 seconds before exiting...

I came back to a previously work but upgraded version I hadn't used in a bit and received this. I reinstalled and have the same error.

Update: Commented out offending lined relating to defaultLandingPage and appear to be up and running.

Update Jul/26 : Broken again. I suspect yaml but I am not expert.

I can confirm, I tried to install the docker following the instructions, but it didn't start. So I removed that /data part and it finally started.

PS: maybe this isn't the App I was looking for... From what I see, it looks into the share that I created manually at the start (FileBrowser Files). In there I find the folder that I create into the web UI, and the files I put inside. However, I can't see the other shares I have in Unraid. Is there a way to expose even the other shares? I'm searching for a lighter substitute of Nextcloud (in nextcould I can map other Unraid shares, it's working but slowly, and sometime the clients lose the connection with the server).

Maybe just point it to: /mnt/user/ ?

Oh, wow, I'm scared like hell to do things like this one 🙂

Sure, I'm just a noob, however I always suppose that big apps like this one need a brand-new empty space to start with, so I followed the indications that I found (ie. creating a new share, pointing at it). Let it to point to my main share without knowing if I'll end with a milled empty space where I had all my data it scares me A LOT!

If you need access to shares you need to make them mounted in container.

Maybe you need another app like krusaider, double commander.

Well, I indeed need a better, more modern solution. I actually use Nextcloud, and it's somewhat working, but really slow and stumbling on bigger pdf files. I suppose that FileBrowser could be a cool solution, simply I didn't had the courage to mount mnt/user, and simply followed the instructions found on youtube guide, so I created a new (empty) share and gave it the access to that one.

If you say that I can share mnt/user and have it not touched (in terms of file permissions etc.) I'll try to edit FileBrowser to point it there.

No, it's not good idea to mount `/mnt/user` here.

You need mount only the shares you need, FileBrowser it's web file manager, so it's for files you need to access from internet like documents, music etc...

If you need to access internal files like unraid system or same you should never expose them to internet. (included all shares (it include appdata).

That why you can use mc in cli or krusaider, double commander without expose it to internet.

Or total commander in win by sfp...

Another way it's using netbird, tailscale without external access from internet.

PS: But technicaly you can mount /mnt/user to any container without root uid/gui and you can set with only read permissions for this mount. (if you don't want to change data in it)

But not needed here and not safe if exposing to internet all shares included appdata ...

I have mounted /mnt/user in container like duplicati for local backup etc..

Just for not mount every share :)
