🎯 __Objectives:__
|
||
- Install File Browser
|
||
- Expose File Browser using Swag
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
[File Browser](https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser) is a web-based interface that lets you access and edit the files on your server.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
---
|
||
Open Dockge, click on `compose`, name the stack `filebrowser`, then copy and paste the following:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
---
|
||
services:
|
||
filebrowser:
|
||
container_name: filebrowser
|
||
volumes:
|
||
- /docker/filebrowser/config:/config/
|
||
- /path/to/your/folders:/yourfolders #add your folders to browse as /docker:/docker for exemple
|
||
ports:
|
||
- 8010:80
|
||
image: filebrowser/filebrowser:s6
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
::alert{type="success"}
|
||
✨ __Tip:__ Add the watchtower label to each container to automate updates.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
services:
|
||
filebrowser:
|
||
#...
|
||
labels:
|
||
- com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
Deploy the container and go to `http://yourserverip:8010`. That’s it—your File Browser web UI is up and running!
|
||
|
||
::alert{type="danger"}
|
||
:::list{type="danger"}
|
||
- __If it doesn’t work:__ check your firewall rules.

## Exposing File Browser with Swag
|

|

|
||
::alert{type="warning"}
|
||
:::list{type="warning"}
|
||
- File Browser does not support multi-factor authentication. Exposing it publicly could put your systems at risk. Only do this if you’re using a secure authentication solution like [Authentik](/serveex/security/authentik/). Otherwise, do not expose it with SWAG—use a VPN like [Wireguard](/serveex/security/wireguard) instead.
|
||
:::
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
You may want to access File Browser remotely from all your devices. To do that, we’ll expose it through Swag.
|
||
|
||
::alert{type="info"}
|
||
:::list{type="info"}
|
||
- __Pre-requisite:__ We assume you've already created a subdomain like `files.yourdomain.com` in your [DNS zone](/general/networking/dns) pointing to `yourdomain.com` with a `CNAME`, and—unless you're using Cloudflare Zero Trust—have already forwarded port `443` on your router to port `443` on your server using [NAT rules](/general/networking/nat).
|
||
:::
|
||

|
||
|
||
In Dockge, go to the SWAG stack and edit the compose file to add File Browser’s network:
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
services:
|
||
swag:
|
||
container_name: # ...
|
||
# ...
|
||
networks: # Connects the container to the custom network
|
||
# ...
|
||
- filebrowser # Name of the network declared in the stack
|
||
|
||
networks: # Defines the custom network
|
||
# ...
|
||
filebrowser: # Name of the network declared in the stack
|
||
name: filebrowser_default # Actual name of the external network
|
||
external: true # Specifies it's an external network
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
::alert{type="info"}
|
||
:::list{type="info"}
|
||
- Here, we assume the network name for File Browser is `filebrowser_default`. You can confirm the connection is working by accessing the SWAG dashboard at http://yourserverip:81.
|
||
:::
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
Restart the stack by clicking "deploy" and wait for SWAG to fully initialize.
|
||
|
||
In the Swag folders, create the file `files.subdomain.conf`.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
sudo vi /docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/files.subdomain.conf
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Enter insert mode by pressing `i`, and paste the following configuration:
|
||
|
||
```nginx
|
||
## Version 2023/12/19
|
||
|
||
server {
|
||
listen 443 ssl;
|
||
listen [::]:443 ssl;
|
||
|
||
server_name files.*;
|
||
|
||
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
|
||
|
||
client_max_body_size 0;
|
||
|
||
#if ($lan-ip = yes) { set $geo-whitelist yes; }
|
||
#if ($geo-whitelist = no) { return 404; }
|
||
if ($geo-blacklist = no) { return 404; }
|
||
|
||
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-location.conf in the location block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/ldap-server.conf;
|
||
|
||
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-location.conf in the location block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;
|
||
|
||
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-location.conf in the location block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;
|
||
|
||
location / {
|
||
# enable the next two lines for http auth
|
||
#auth_basic "Restricted";
|
||
#auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/.htpasswd;
|
||
|
||
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-server.conf in the server block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/ldap-location.conf;
|
||
|
||
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-server.conf in the server block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;
|
||
|
||
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-server.conf in the server block)
|
||
#include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;
|
||
|
||
include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
|
||
include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
|
||
set $upstream_app filebrowser;
|
||
set $upstream_port 80;
|
||
set $upstream_proto http;
|
||
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Press `Esc`, then save and exit with `:x` followed by `Enter`.
|
||
|
||
That’s it—File Browser is now exposed!
|
||
|
||
::alert{type="success"}
|
||
✨ __Tip:__ You can protect this app with Authentik by opening `files.subdomain.conf` and uncommenting `include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;`{lang=nginx} and `include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;`{lang=nginx}. Don’t forget to [create an application and provider in Authentik](/serveex/security/authentik#protecting-an-app-via-reverse-proxy).
