Thats not was FileBrowser was made for. Have a look at Krusader docker.

This seems to have stopped working with 6.7.0, I have deleted everything and reinstalled and still not working.

 

states:

standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused "no such file or directory"

It did this to me.... I noticed there was an update for File Browser, updated that and now it works fine.

As I mentioned. I reinstalled after deleting everything and still won't start...

Think you have to remove the database to setup FileBrowser new.

Where do you get this error, while building/starting the container. Can you post a screenshot plz.

Cheers

Works fine but now i try to set up https. Is this possible to combinine with "letsencrypt"-docker (which have reverse proxy included). I tried to setup in /letsencrypt/nginx/proxy-confs but sadly there are no sample .conf for FileBrowser. Maybe someone have allready config this method?

I am using letsencrypt as well: 

maybe you could go like this: 

1.st you need a subdomain like filebrowser.yourdomain.com (yourdomain.com/filebrowser will not work)

2.nd put a proxy pass in your / configuration for your subdomain

3.rd have fun!

 

location / {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.1.24:8123/;
    proxy_buffering off;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
    access_log off;
	}

or to use as subfolder (i had to dig a little to find) take a look at your filebrowser.json

 

sample here to use as my.domain.com/files

 

in filebrowser.json

  "baseURL": "/files",
 

nginx

    location ^~ /files/ {
        auth_basic off;
        allow all; # Allow all to see content 
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        proxy_pass http://192.168.1.2:40080/files/;
        proxy_buffering off;
        access_log off;
    }

Can you post this full .conf?

 

I added that to mine, but it doesn't seem to work. ("Welcome to our server" message)

 

My other reverse proxy's are working

 

thanks

I am having some problems getting this to run.

I took the filebrowser.json and put it in

/mnt/user/appdata/filebrowser/filebrowser.json

But when I start the docker and tries to access the webui, I just get 3 dots fading from left to right.

Log file contain this

2020/01/12 16:35:14 Using config file: /.filebrowser.json
2020/01/12 16:35:14 Listening on [::]:80

No matter what port I set in the json file, it continue to listen to port 80 too.

 

Opening console I am getting a fast flash of an error containing something with $PATH. It is flashing so fast I can't read it.

I got it working.

 

To get it to work I had to change Network Type to Bridge, and then add a port.

 

After doing this the WebUI option no longer direct to the right address, but typing the address in manually works.

 

 

Scrap that... F5 and it is back to the 3 dots again.

So If you are shure you put in the config to the right place the only think that comes in my mind Now is the Network Adapter. Try br0 with an IP of your subnet. Host can work as well bridge will be proxy through unraid that can cause a Problem. 

Good luck! 

Hi everyone! I'm new at the forum but I have 9 years experience of Unraid. Sorry for my bad English.

 

FileBrowser container seems great! Basic functionality seems to be working 100%. Although I would like to add reCaptcha authentication on login.

 

Documentation says that this can be added with this command:

filebrowser config set --auth.method=json --recaptcha.key site-key --recaptcha.secret private-key

 

I tried to run this command on Unraid terminal but it always returns timeout:

root@192:~# docker exec -ti FileBrowser /filebrowser config set --auth.method=json --recaptcha.key site-key --recaptcha.secret private-key

2020/01/13 05:53:22 timeout

 

I get timeout from also from other commands if trying to change config. I can't even print current config using "config cat" command.

 

Version command seems to be working:

root@192:~# docker exec -ti FileBrowser /filebrowser version
File Browser v2.1.0/6ce44f7

 

I found this thread with same problem:

https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/issues/627

 

There is comment:

"You can only either be serving File Browser or execute commands. You can't change the database while its running."

 

So I think that to change config with commands it is needed to stop the Filebrowser first and then start it again. However I think that this can't be done since this docker container hasn't got bash/shell?

 

My config:

Host path 1 (shares):

Container Path: /srv

/mnt/user/filebrowser_share/

 

Host path 2 (database.db):

/mnt/user/appdata/filebrowser/

Container Path: /db/

 

Config (additional mapping for .filebrowser.json):

/mnt/user/appdata/filebrowser_config/.filebrowser.json

Container Path: /.filebrowser.json

 

Any help appreciated! Thanks also for great work with this docker container.

looks like its due the latest update from the source and now its closed ... reverting back to and all is good, sadly the dark theme came in 2.1 ;)

Great docker! I have a little question regarding multiple paths for a user, I want each user to be able to access a shared folder and a private folder. I see 2 possible way of doing it, first the scope way, is it possible to have multiple scopes? I tried comma and semicolon separated but they don't work. Second way is from the rules section, but I can't figure out how to use it. I tried "allow" and put path with and without "/" and nothing seems to be happenning (nothing is filtered out). Can anyone point me in the right direction please!
