This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.
Overview File Browser is the popular open source, self-hosted web file manager - browse, upload, download, edit, preview and share the files in a directory through a clean, fast web UI, with multi-user support and per-user scopes and permissions. A lightweight alternative to hosted file managers. This image delivers File Browser fully installed and configured, so a private web file manager is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is File Browser 2.63.
Application Stack The File Browser server - a single Go binary that serves both the API and the web UI - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. The datastore is an embedded SQLite database. The server binds to the loopback interface.
Secure By Default Authentication is required. On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service recreates the database (yielding a fresh per-instance session signing key) and creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password, written to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use Sign in as the administrator, browse and manage the files under the data directory, upload and download, create share links, and add users with their own scopes.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat for deployment, upgrades, integrations, TLS termination and storage.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). File Browser is served on port 80 through nginx (the server listens on 127.0.0.1:8080). Retrieve the generated administrator login with: sudo cat /root/filebrowser-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with the username and password shown. The health endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/health is open. Files are served from /var/lib/filebrowser/files. Services are managed with systemctl (filebrowser, nginx). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
