-====== FileBrowser ====== 
- 
-[[https://filebrowser.org/|File Browser]] is a nice web-based file manager for your server. 
- 
-I do not like the default installation method because it will install system-wide. I will show you how to install in a more cusotmized way. 
- 
-first you need to create a new user: 
-<code bash> 
- > useradd -d /data/daemons/filebrowser -m filebrowser 
-</code> 
- 
-Then, as //filebrowser// user, get the software package and deocompress it. The default install approach is based on a auto executable web link ([[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filebrowser/get/master/get.sh|here]] which i do not recommend to use directly. Instead go to [[https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/releases/|here]] and download the proper package for your architecture. Then: 
-<code bash> 
- > su - filebrowser 
- > tar xvf linux-amd64-filebrowser.tar.gz 
- > ./filebrowser config set --auth.method noauth 
-</code> 
- 
-since it will be hidden behind the reverse proxy, you can disable FileBrowser internal authentication. 
- 
-Now, a startup script: 
-<file filebrowser.sh> 
-#!/bin/bash 
-cd /data/daemons/filebrowser && 
-./filebrowser -r /data/my_files -p 3002 -b /filebrowser/ 2>&1 > filebrowser.log 
-</file> 
- 
-And the usual autostart stuff: 
-<file 40-filebrowser.start> 
-#!/bin/bash 
-start-stop-daemon -b -m -p /var/run/filebrowser.pid -n filebrowser -u filebrowser /data/daemons/filebrowser/filebrowser.sh 
-</file> 
- 
-Make both files executable. 
- 
-Now, reverse proxy is simple, but this into **/etc/nginx/folders/filebrowser.conf**: 
-<file filebrowser.conf> 
- 
-  location /filebrowser/ { 
-        client_max_body_size 512M; 
- 
-        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3002; 
-        proxy_http_version 1.1; 
- 
-        proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection; 
-        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade'; 
-        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade; 
-        proxy_set_header Host $host; 
-        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; 
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; 
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; 
-    } 
-</file> 
- 
-and put this file include inside the usual **/etc/nginx*/folders/main.conf**, and restart nginx.
