    I saw this the other day as well when i was looking at filebrowsers github looking into seeing if it had SSO support. It's a shame really.

      File browser Quantum is the shiny feature rich fork!

      I have also used filestash with some success

        Ah, this makes sense now. I was wondering why it hadn't been updated in a while, that was my only hangup.

          When the stable release is published, it's honestly a no brainer. Although Filestash is a good alternative too.

            Trying to set that up to try out, but I can't get it to see/use my config.yaml.

            /srv/filebrowser-new/data/config.yaml

            volumes:

            • /srv/filebrowser-new/data:/config
              environment:
            • FILEBROWSER_CONFIG="/config/config.yaml"

            Says '/config/config.yaml' doesn't exist and will not start. Same thing if I mount the config file directly, instead of just its folder.

            If I remove the env var, it changes to "could not open config file 'config.yaml', using default settings" and starts at least. From there I can 'ls -l' through docker exec and see that my config is mounted exactly where it's supposed to be '/config/config.yaml' and has 777 perms, but filebrowser insists it doesn't exist...

            My config is just the example for now.

            I don't understand what I could possibly be doing wrong.

            /edit: three hours of messing around and I figured it out:

            • FILEBROWSER_CONFIG="/config/config.yaml"

            Must not have quotation marks. Removed them and now it's working.

                It's just a YAML thing, if you do FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:"/config/config.yaml" instead it might work with quotes.

                  Dev replied to my github discussion.

                  Apparently it's an issue with array style env variable layout.

                  environment:
                      key:"value"
                  

                  Instead of

                  environment:
                      - key=value

                      I was going to query why fork instead of just maintaining, but after reading theose comments I see the problem.

                      So, ok, I need to start shifting packages...

                          Ive had some good experience with filestash but recently they swapped to collabora which brought me a host of headaches.

                          The Dev is awesome though.

                            So it's a YAML quirk then?

                              I'm not sure whether this is specific to this project, docker, or YAML in general.

                              Looking through my other 20 or so compose files, I use the array notation for most of my environment variables, but I don't have any double quotation marks elsewhere. Maybe they're not supposed to work in this format, idk.

                              Good to keep in mind I guess.

                                Not my server, it's a shared one I have a http server and some files on. I want a nice frontend. I've used all in one php ones with some success, but this looks nicer.
