Comment on 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.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.

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

    Man that’s finicky…

      It’s just YAML, 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

  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 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…

  Reckon I can get this going somewhere where I don’t have sudo?

      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.
