-And the startup script should be **/etc/local.d/40-filebrowser.start**:
+make it executable!
-<file - 40-filebrowser.start>
-#!/bin/bash
-start-stop-daemon -b -m -p /var/run/myuser/filebrowser-myuser.pid -n myuser-filebrowser -u myuser /home/myuser/filebrowser.sh
+Now, create a file **/etc/conf.d/filebrowser.myshare**:
+<file filebrowser.myshare>
+BASE_URL="/files/MyFiles"
+DATABASE="/homr/myuser/filebrowser.db"
+DESCRIPTION="Common web archive"
+FOLDER="/data/MyFiles"
+GROUP="users"
+PORT=3005
+USER="filebrowser"
 </file>
-make both executable of course.
+And create the symlink, start it and add to autostart:
+<code bash>
+ln -s /etc/init.d/filebrowser  /etc/init.d/filebrowser.myshare
+rc-update add filebrowser.myshare default
+/etc/init.d/filebrowser.myshare start
+</code>
+To add more shares, just create new links to the //filebrowser// init script and create the associated config file.
+==== Updates ====
+Download a new binary release (see link above), replace binary and restart service.
