If been struggling a lot with docker and this has helped me so much. I applied the lessons i took from this video and now i have all my containers up and running. Thank you so much!
Hehe glad you took my suggestion from a previous video comment for covering this, it's such a great lightweight solution with a great GUI. There are also some nice customisation options to brand it 👍
hey i might be stupid for asking but when i run docker compose up -d it doesnt do anything and just lists out docker commands. Is there something I need to download or something im missing?
Hi! Great Tutrorial! I got a question. Is there a way to add a path from filebrowser, as a network drive, to my windows explorer or mac finder? Or is the only way to access it via browser?
im hoping someone sees this but docker compose is giving issues and saying it isnt a command, even after installing docker compose package. when i get to 8:29 in the video I get no output from those commands.
You would need to make sure Filebrowser is public either using a reverse proxy and exposing it or using Cloudflare tunnels. Then you can create a share which will have a public link you can share.
Nice video. I see you have dockge, hoping for you to make a video about it, and how to set it up with the same folder structure you mentioned for existing and new docker containers :)
Same problem with persistent settings that others have noticed. Also likewise problem when you start doing multiusers and the new users (non-admin) can't upload files. I suspect a chmod to the filebrowser location needs to be performed similar to when I set up Samba.
Am I the only one, where I can't get any persistency in the settings I make? Every change in the docker-compose leads to fresh restart of the docker and all my settings are gone. (no user, no darkmode etc.)
You have a ZimaBoard but you seem to be bypassing the default CasaOS (and I didn't see a CasaOS home directory). Did you just install a standard Debian or Ubuntu distribution? Is this covered in your other videos? And I guess this explains why you have command line Docker-Compose (CasaOS supports docker-compose files in its GUI, but does not seem to have command line Docker-Compose).
How can I change de default folder when login? I mean when logged in, me and friends can see the files and folders system, I don't want that, someone can delete them by mistake. I would like to have an empty folder, lets says "share". Any advice will be so much appreciated
Filebrowser is amazing! The only issue I have with it is thumbnails not generating when sharing files/folders with others via share links. Is there anyway to make that happen?
Nice video How do I serve 2 folders (volumes) separately? For example: /home/documents:/srv (1) /home/privatedocuments/srv (2) The " hurlenko\filebrowser " image allows you to do it this way: /home/documents:/data/documents (1) /home/privatedocuments:/data/privatedocuments (2)
Additional folders can simply be specified as subfolders of /srv. So main folder /srv/filebrowser/srv:/srv -> any disk /dev/sdc1:/srv/c1 -> any folder /dev/sbc/documents:/srv/documents "c1" and "documents" then simply appear as folders in the main view of filebrowser.
Great video just a problem for me: If I create a folder or upload a file I always receive a 403 Forbidden error while when reading and downloading everything works fine, why? Filebrowser user authorization problems? how to solve?
Does your user that you gave permissions for in the docker compose file have permissions to make folders etc in that directory? You can test but trying to replicate what you are doing in FB via the command line and see if it works
the container user is the administrator, the filebrowser user is the initial standard admin user. However I downloaded another image from Yacht and it works great. Thank you@@Techdox
have a weird issue that the app "file-browser" resets the admin passord back to default every restart. even pu in my own PUID: was also lack of restart policy in the compose. you shoud include that for the new docker nerds comming here to learn :)
I have 2 NAS systems and I'm doing to mount them on an LXC, so that I can browse them through file browser apps like filebrowser. This video helps a lot, thx ; -). (ps: Remenber to check the access of the directory
There is a mistake in the compose file: the `settings.json` file needs to be mounted as `\.filebrowser.json`. You can see this in the Docker command on the website. Apart from that, it is a very good video. Thanks!

Love to hear it!!
As always, very concise and informative video from Techdox! Love your work mate!
solid video. helped me out of a jam. gods work brother
Hello, I'm French, thank you for your video, I wanted a way to manage the filebrowser configuration from outside the container, now it works :D
Hehe glad you took my suggestion from a previous video comment for covering this, it's such a great lightweight solution with a great GUI. There are also some nice customisation options to brand it 👍
Was a very good suggestion :)

@@im_607 make sure you’re running the command in the same directory where your compose file is
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
thank you, it's worked
Great video ;-) , what kind of plugin do you use for terminal autocomplete ?
Hi! Great Tutrorial! I got a question. Is there a way to add a path from filebrowser, as a network drive, to my windows explorer or mac finder?
Or is the only way to access it via browser?
There's a flaw in your Bookstack. The image is set to filebrowser:latest instead of filebrowser:s6. This caused me so many issues. Please fix! Thanks
Latest is broken?
im hoping someone sees this but docker compose is giving issues and saying it isnt a command, even after installing docker compose package. when i get to 8:29 in the video I get no output from those commands.
You might have docker-compose installed, just not the newest one? Try it with the hyphen
How do I make share links that friends can access?

Yeah I think I need to do some documentation to better explain how permissions work and what to keep an eye out for

What does your compose file look like?
You have a ZimaBoard but you seem to be bypassing the default CasaOS (and I didn't see a CasaOS home directory).
Did you just install a standard Debian or Ubuntu distribution?
Is this covered in your other videos?
And I guess this explains why you have command line Docker-Compose (CasaOS supports docker-compose files in its GUI, but does not seem to have command line Docker-Compose).
Yeah, just running standard Ubuntu Server
Exists a Android client?

Interesting, I haven’t found that issue before but I’ll have a look so I can add a note to my docs
Hi. Can FileBrowser be accessed via API?
Can I upload files, create folders and download files from my code (p.e. Spring Boot application)?
They do have CLI based commands you could use - filebrowser.org/cli
I am using an argon eon nas how to i set it so that filebrowser uses one of the external drives
Honestly, if you have a NAS setup I world use something like TrueNAS instead
Great video. I only wish all basic video codes would be supported so I could watch videos from docker folders.
Nice video
How do I serve 2 folders (volumes) separately?
For example:
/home/documents:/srv (1)
/home/privatedocuments/srv (2)
The " hurlenko\filebrowser " image allows you to do it this way:
/home/documents:/data/documents (1)
/home/privatedocuments:/data/privatedocuments (2)
same. i would like to know how to do this too
I'm assuming you have tried with the standard filebrowser image and this does not work?
Additional folders can simply be specified as subfolders of /srv.
So main folder /srv/filebrowser/srv:/srv
-> any disk /dev/sdc1:/srv/c1
-> any folder /dev/sbc/documents:/srv/documents
"c1" and "documents" then simply appear as folders in the main view of filebrowser.

Can you join the discord and share your compose? Easier to troubleshoot in the Discord :)
Wait, where is it storing my upload files? What if I have large media files like DVD's, ISO's, and MP4's?
@@northblue8216 it’s storing it directly in your host

Thank you for pointing that out, and thank you for the kind words!
Please make a full Tutorial to share online. Not only local
Check out my Cloudflare video if you want to expose it securely
One huge problem with this thing is that it doesnt show you Folder sizes. It only displays an '-'
freaking new it that eeee kiwi!
he there we go. Me container still unhealthy
Sorted now?
@@Techdox yes thanks for your help. Proberly will have to switch to onecloud at some point tho
how did u fix that ? same here
@@mohammedal.a5111 I updated the docs, the image needs to change to latest
@@mohammedal.a5111 the compose script has to be changed from s6 to latest i think
