filebrowser

Simple HTTP web server to manage files and directories. More information: https://filebrowser.org.

  • Start a new server instance serving the current directory:

filebrowser

  • Start a new server instance serving a specific root directory:

filebrowser -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Start an instance with different host address (defaults to 127.0.0.1) and port (defaults to 8080):

filebrowser -a|–address host -p|–port port -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Start an instance with a specified configuration file, storing the application database in a specific location (defaults to filebrowser.db on the current directory):

filebrowser -c|–config path/to/file -d|–database path/to/database.db -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Set up a different default first-time account username and password (both default to admin) when setting up a new instance:

filebrowser --username username --password password -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Set up the maximum amount of image processors used when generating thumbnails (defaults to 4):

filebrowser --img-processors 4 -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Disable image thumbnails as well as the Command Runner feature, limiting access for hosted script files from being executed inside the app:

filebrowser --disable-exec --disable-thumbnails -r|–root path/to/directory

  • Disable resizing of image previews as well as detecting file types by reading their headers:

filebrowser --disable-preview-resize --disable-type-detection-by-header -r|–root path/to/directory
