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!

[randallsheppard]

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

[chrisumali]

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

[alanjrobertson]

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 👍

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!

[StelioStefanov]

Great video ;-), what kind of plugin do you use for terminal autocomplete ?

[conan]

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.)

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

[netgarnet]

Great video. I only wish all basic video codes would be supported so I could watch videos from docker folders.

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

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.

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

[jims]

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 :)

[turkeyphant]

How do I make share links that friends can access?

[kidtronicspl]

I am using an argon eon nas how to i set it so that filebrowser uses one of the external drives

[DebrodeD]

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?

[jimcallahan]

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).

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?
