PSA: filebrowser is no longer being actively developed
-
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.

Man that's finicky...

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

File browser Quantum is the shiny feature rich fork!
I have also used filestash with some success
Reckon I can get this going somewhere where I don't have sudo?

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...

I doubt it, why dont you have sudo?

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

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.
