Thank you for the docker image!

Default pass for admin?

From the logs

Never provided anything during the installation.

Yeah im going to put this in the template somewhere, forgot to do it, for now i will paste it here (its in the README.md too):

Username:- admin
Password:- filebrowser

Ensure you change it once logged in (you can change your password in the UI).

Hello. I'm trying to use this image on my Unraid server, but the default login/password=admin/filebrowser don't work, and I don't see a generated password in the logs.

Hi, i replicated the issue, it was due to the introduction of the toggle to enable/disable authentication, this has now been fixed, please pull down the latest image and try again with the default credentials.

This is quite a nice file browser for unRaid. Just stood it up, and switched to one-tap mode. Works like a champ on a mobile device! This is what I've been missing! I tried CopyParty, but it's sort of "too good"? It's constantly indexing in the background and keeps the disks spun up, etc. File Browser is perfect for my use case, which usually is just moving a few files here and there.

Having issues with the token expiration. Tried adding the parameters "--token-expiration-time 8h" in the advanced tab, but it always kills the entire docker saying that the command is invalid and then I have to reinstall the docker again. Me and a buddy are trying to share very large audio files we record and after an hour or so the connection times out and ruins the entire upload.

Can someone please provide the correct syntax for changing the token expiration?

Im not exacly sure where you are adding this, i do no see a advanced tab in the filebrowser web ui, screenshot please.

Apologies. I should have said Advanced View in the container setup. Extra Parameters is where I put the "--token-expiration-time 8h" without the quotes. When I click Apply, it fails and the Log says that it could not find the folder. That is the only change I make, so its odd that it installs fine with the preset Extra Parameter shown in the screenshot below, but fails to find the folder with the new extra parameter. I have tried using a space between the two different parameters as well as just removing the restart=always parameter and get the same behavior.

Apologies. I should have said Advanced View in the container setup. Extra Parameters is where I put the "--token-expiration-time 8h" without the quotes.

yep that would definitely break the container, the Extra Parameters is for Docker extra parameters NOT the application running in the container.

So i have just added another env var for you which will allow you to do what you want, please pull down the latest image (just built) and then follow Q8:- https://github.com/binhex/documentation/blob/master/docker/faq/unraid.md

The variable name is ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS and the value in your case will be --tokenExpirationTime XXh where XX = the number of hours you want the token to last.

Thank you!!!

Hi, thank you for all the work you're doing.

Any chance I could get some help with the the webui just stuck on a loading screen?

try clearing cookies and site data, if no go try a different browser, if still no go then try another machine, im using this myself so im confident there are no issues with the image.

Hmm, I tried a different on firefox, edge, and on a phone, no luck. The only things I changed were the filebrowser_baseurl to the cloudflare tunnel I set up. and the "Path:/media" pointing it to the media files I wanted it to. Any suggestions on where to look further?

Edit: when opening the log it says

2026-05-06 15:50:13,757 DEBG 'start' stderr output:

2026/05/06 15:50:13 No config file used

ok it's interesting, when I change the "Variable: FILEBROWSER_BASEURL:" to the cloudflare tunnel url that I set it doesn't want to load. The fix was just to leave it as how you set it.

"Variable: FILEBROWSER_BASEURL:" to the cloudflare tunnel url

so what did you set the value of FILEBROWSER_BASEURL to?, it should be something like /filebrowseryou should not be entering in a url here, so this would be an incorrect value for 'FILEBROWSER_BASEURL' https://cloudflare.com/filebrowser

I also see the UI stuck as of today

I am also running into same issue with just getting stuck with 3 dots loading splash, I was trying everything I could to fix it thinking its something with my config that changed but seems to be container issue. Anyone find a fix?

I think the issue is this filebrowser bug:- https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/issues/5951

Confirmed, the workaround on that link of adding /login at the end of url works fine. Thanks.

The issue is now fixed (upstream fix, not mine), please revert back to tag 'latest', please ensure you perform a 'force update' after switching, otherwise you will pick up the old cached image and it will apper to be broken.
