[File Browser Quantum](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser) is a community fork of [File Browser](/recycled/deprecated/file-browser), rewritten for better performance (indexed search, lower memory use) and configured through a single `config.yaml` file instead of a database-only setup.

## Installation
::file-tree
---
tree:
/:
- srv:
- docker:
- filebrowser-quantum:
- compose.yaml
- data:
- config.yaml
- filebrowser.sqlite
---
::
::steps{level="3"}
### Create the config file
Create the data folder:
```bash [Terminal]
sudo mkdir -p /srv/docker/filebrowser-quantum/data
```
Create the `config.yaml` file:
```bash [Terminal]
sudo nano /srv/docker/filebrowser-quantum/data/config.yaml
```
Paste the following, adding one `sources` entry per folder you want to browse:
```yaml [config.yaml]
server:
cacheDir: /home/filebrowser/data/tmp
sources:
- path: /srv/docker
config:
defaultEnabled: true
- path: /media
config:
defaultEnabled: true
```
Press :kbd{value="Ctrl+O"}, then :kbd{value="Enter"} to save, and :kbd{value="Ctrl+X"} to exit.
### Deploy the stack
Open Dockge, click on `compose`, name the stack `filebrowser-quantum`, then copy and paste the following:
```yaml [compose.yaml]
---
services:
filebrowser-quantum:
container_name: filebrowser-quantum
image: gtstef/filebrowser:beta
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /srv/docker:/srv/docker
- /media:/media
- /srv/docker/filebrowser-quantum/data:/home/filebrowser/data
ports:
- 8020:80
```
::note
Mount every folder you listed under `sources` in `config.yaml` at the same path inside the container (here `/srv/docker` and `/media`), otherwise File Browser Quantum won't find them.

✨ __Tip:__ Add the watchtower label to automate updates.
```yaml [compose.yaml]
services:
filebrowser-quantum:
#...
labels:
- com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
```
::
Deploy the container and go to `http://yourserverip:8020`. Log in with the default `admin` / `admin` credentials, then immediately change the password in your profile settings.
### Done !

## Exposing File Browser Quantum with Swag
::warning
File Browser Quantum 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 [TinyAuth](/serveex/security/tinyauth) or [Authentik](/serveex/advanced/authentik/). Otherwise, don't expose it with SWAG. Use a VPN like [Wireguard](/serveex/core/wireguard) instead.
::
You may want to access File Browser Quantum remotely from all your devices. To do that, we'll expose it through Swag.
::note{icon=""}
📋 __Pre-requisite:__ We assume you've already created a subdomain like `fbq.yourdomain.com` in your [DNS zone](/general/networking/dns) pointing to `yourdomain.com` with a `CNAME`. Unless you're using Cloudflare Zero Trust, we also assume you've already forwarded port `443` on your router to port `443` on your server using [NAT rules](/general/networking/nat).
::
::steps{level="3"}
### Add File Browser Quantum's network to SWAG
In Dockge, go to the SWAG stack and edit the compose file to add File Browser Quantum's network:
```yaml [compose.yaml]
---
services:
swag:
container_name: # ...
# ...
networks: # Connects the container to the custom network
# ...
- filebrowser-quantum # Name of the network declared in the stack
networks: # Defines the custom network
# ...
filebrowser-quantum: # Name of the network declared in the stack
name: filebrowser-quantum_default # Actual name of the external network
external: true # Specifies it's an external network
```
::note
Here, we assume the network name for File Browser Quantum is `filebrowser-quantum_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.
### Create the subdomain.conf file
In the Swag folders, create the file `fbq.subdomain.conf`.
```bash [Terminal]
sudo nano /srv/docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/fbq.subdomain.conf
```
And paste the following configuration:
```nginx [fbq.subdomain.conf]
## Version 2023/12/19
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name fbq.*;
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
# 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-quantum;
set $upstream_port 80;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
}
```
Press :kbd{value="Ctrl+O"}, then :kbd{value="Enter"} to save, and :kbd{value="Ctrl+X"} to exit.
### Done !
::
That's it! File Browser Quantum is now exposed.
## Protecting File Browser Quantum with TinyAuth
Add [TinyAuth](/serveex/security/tinyauth)'s forward-auth check directly to `fbq.subdomain.conf`, the same way as [the TinyAuth guide](/serveex/security/tinyauth#protecting-an-app-via-reverse-proxy):
```nginx [fbq.subdomain.conf]{22-34,37-38}
## Version 2023/12/19
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name fbq.*;
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
# 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 /tinyauth {
internal;
proxy_pass http://tinyauth:3000/api/auth/nginx;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Uri $request_uri;
}
location @tinyauth_login {
return 302 https://tinyauth.mydomain.com/login?redirect_uri=$scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
}
location / {
auth_request /tinyauth;
error_page 401 = @tinyauth_login;
# 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-quantum;
set $upstream_port 80;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
}
```
::note{to="/serveex/security/tinyauth#exposing-tinyauth-with-swag"}
The `location /tinyauth` block runs inside SWAG's own container, so SWAG needs to be on TinyAuth's Docker network to reach it by name (`tinyauth` here). This should already be set up from **exposing TinyAuth itself**. If you run into an error, double-check SWAG's compose file still has that network attached.

::tip{icon=""}
✨ __Tip:__ You can protect this app with [Authentik](/serveex/advanced/authentik) instead of TinyAuth by opening `fbq.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/advanced/authentik#protecting-an-app-via-reverse-proxy).
