Any chance your also Simply Austin?

[@IBRACORP]

He sounds like a lovely chap but no different person 🙂

@@IBRACORP Figured I would ask the "Lets get stuck in" is what got my attention. Awesome vidz btw alot of good info. Thanks

[@torin1337]

A note for Unraid users -- if FileBrowser is installed exactly as shown, you won't have permissions to modify any folders created with FileBrowser from outside of FileBrowser. This is problematic when accessing a share via SMB that's set up to be your FileBrowser directory, which is a pretty common use-case. To fix this, edit the FileBrowser docker template to include the user flag as an extra parameter (accessible with Advanced View toggled on). This will let you specify a non-root user and group for FileBrowser which plays nice with your SMB shares or other access methods. I use --user=1000:100 to resolve permissions issues. Great vid as always, Sycotix! FB is an awesome lightweight solution for those of us that don't need/want a full-fat Nextcloud instance.

[@pertang630]

Thanks guys. I installed Next Cloud a few days ago thinking that would be good for a Google Drive replacement, but then I came across your video for File Browser. So far, I'm liking it much better, much less resource intensive seeing I don't really think I'll use the other features of Next Cloud. Thanks for another awesome video. Good to see another Aussie channel doing well.

[@IBRACORP]

Cheers David appreciate the support!

[@austinvanalstyne610]

Literally last night I was thinking "I wish I had an easy way to create a link to send to a friend so that they can download something off my server". And what do you know, Ibracorp is here to save the day within 24 hours! I'm worried you're listening to my conversations! Great video though, and even better timing!

[@IBRACORP]

Sorry Austin, we'll stop listening for a while from now on 🙂 Thanks for watching mate

[@damanvariakarya3505]

i've been ssing around on a friends soft soft for years, finally bought it. I found your videos and instantly subscribed and have been

[@thecoo2880]

Straight into it, love it.

[@IBRACORP]

We love you

[@iRocks-Mak3rde]

Maybe a stupid question but why should someone use this, when nextcloud can do the same and much more ?

[@IBRACORP]

Well if you want the whole suite of tools from Nextcloud that's perfectly fine. But it is heavy and takes a lot more to keep going than this simple method to manage and access files.

[@iRocks-Mak3rde]

@@IBRACORP hm OK, I personally can not seen what's more complicated running the LS NC docker instead.

[@IBRACORP]

Not necessarily difficult at all mate. Just up to you if you want all the other features then go for Nextcloud. But for simple file management we think File Browser does the job perfectly

[@nikunjkaria]

Can u help with the sample files to allow specific files only and block rest. To protect the internal network

[@techchannle4247]

Wow the timing of this is perfect I was just looking into solutions for this

[@IBRACORP]

We were listening secretly

[@dr-oopie]

any difference of docker compose vs the template in unraid?

[@geno_sai]

I get a 413 error when uploading file size more than 100MB over internet. I’m using cloud flare tunneling for my server. Seems to be cloudflare upload limit. And way to upload file larger than 100MB to chuck upload it?

[@koningvoorschot4200]

Hey. You could try changing the settings to lower than 100MB in chunks size. BTW, I can't upload anything via remotely. I have exact same the setup as yours. CLoudflare tunnel. I get 415 error everytime I try to upload anything. It works fine if I'm accessing through locally. Any help?

[@ViszlaBoss]

Great video. Can i add seperate Host Paths? I have a ZFS pool where I have my media files but I cant seem to add multiple Host paths??

[@nexusasus]

Love your unraid videos, the others are very informative and opens you up to new horizons, gives you the urge to experiment, Great work. Any possibility you guys would be doing something on changing geographic locations on a VPN (or VLAN with VPN) seems not to be very much out there

[@IBRACORP]

Thank you! And yes, always open to new ideas!

[@geyoda64]

Is there a way to limit upload bandwidth (download bandwidth for remote users) ?

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Did you port it on Android? I like to share my iPhone and Android and your browser looks good.

[@Jimmeh83]

You mention configuring this with traefik/authelia in the guide. If you're providing links to various third parties, won't that also require you to setup authelia accounts for those users as well, or is there something I'm missing?

[@IBRACORP]

You're right James, thanks for clarifying. You will need to have an account for them to use if protected by any auth layer on top of the web auth form.

[@turkeyphant]

How do you make share links without using reverse proxy? And would it be insecure to just port forward?

[@pjdtechy5734]

Love this thx you, literally just install next cloud the day prior and installed file browser today. So file Bowser is much much faster than nextcloud. Is there an Android app for remote access outside of the network?

[@mattiaippolito1625]

How do I do if I want to have two users and each user must access only its own folder that’s on a SMB share from my Truenas?

[@boriss282]

Thanks for another Cool video, already Using it :)

[@IBRACORP]

Cheers Boris!

[@BartTech]

Filebrowser is supurb to share files with friends and family. Running it for moths now (y)

[@IBRACORP]

Hi Bart, agreed! Thanks for watching

[@eduxmontivero]

Hello, thank you very much for the tutorial. Do you know how to make it not ask me for authentication and access directly to the directories. aware of the vulnerability but what I need is to make users access from a local network

[@ChiekoGamers]

How do I add my hard drive? It only detects my SSD which is my main boot drive

[@tristen_grant]

Did you add the drive in your docker file?

[@chrisa.1740]

Dark Mode is love, Dark Mode is life! Thanks for another interesting video. What would you say the different use-case scenarios are when comparing Owncloud/Nextcloud and File Browser?

[@netraven5000]

Nextcloud is a whole complete suite of tools. It has calendar and group features built-in; it has officially-supported plugins for task lists and editing Office documents; and as a shutterbug I love that the Nextcloud app will auto-upload my photos and video once I use my camera's app to pull them from the camera to my phone.

[@IBRACORP]

Plain and simple - if you just want easy file access, editing and sharing I would go filebrowser. If you do want the whole suite of tools (and the load of Nextcloud) then definitely go Nextcloud route

[@insomniawu9717]

if u try 'filerun', you will find a new world

[@kelownatechkid]

This is a great program!

[@koolkiwikat]

any chance to knock out a nextcloud setup using a proxy?

[@jaschaaon]

Great Job man, I do rlly love your Videos!

[@IBRACORP]

Check out Filebrowser, we did a video on it 🙂

[@Redneckrampage]

This or Nextcloud?

[@kristjanpirc537]

Where do I download this?

[@wlmirand]

Is there an Android app to access a Filebrowser Server?

[@sdmerkr]

When using Filebrowser on Unraid I always gets a “500 internal error” when transferring from mnt/disk-x to mnt/disk-y when using share = /mnt/ - 😭

[@savageaus_gamez]

Can you share your settings in the template on Unraid? When I install it and try go to webui it does nothing.

[@oscs4556]

What about filestash?

[@quantumtech9155]

Hey r u Australian bc u got an aussie accent?

[@IBRACORP]

Yes 😎

[@cyberallianceindia]

Waka : Been using file browser for about a year now, it's awesome. It's basically the first thing I do on vps after docker.

[@IBRACORP]

Great tool Waka!

[@chrgeorgeson]

I wish this worked with Unraid>FileBrowser>NGinxProxyManager Can't get it to work. I miss IBRACORP being focused on Unraid as well. No big deal. I still watch your stuff and enjoy it.

[@Michael-bf4ud]

Ya.. me too... I'm an Unraid purist... these other options are likely nice for some folks... but I come here for the Unraid content personally. Even if it was a 'royal-sampler' approach... that would be fine if they would continue to support the Unraid install/setup etc as it was a year ago.

[@Synicaly]

Can't get this to work either :( anyone help?

[@jonbascos9125]

I'm curious....what isn't working? Connecting to FileBrowser after creating the new host in NPM? Do you also get the 502?

[@corvi16]

adding to this, i cant make it work either as i need to change the port mapping that it wont allow me to do
