File browser Quantum is the shiny feature rich fork
Trying to set that up to try out, but I can’t get it to see/use my config.yaml.
/srv/filebrowser-new/data/config.yaml
volumes:
- /srv/filebrowser-new/data:/config environment:
- FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=“/config/config.yaml”
Says ‘/config/config.yaml’ doesn’t exist and will not start. Same thing if I mount the config file directly, instead of just its folder.
If I remove the env var, it changes to “could not open config file ‘config.yaml’, using default settings” and starts at least. From there I can ‘ls -l’ through docker exec and see that my config is mounted exactly where it’s supposed to be ‘/config/config.yaml’ and has 777 perms, but filebrowser insists it doesn’t exist…
My config is just the example for now.
I don’t understand what I could possibly be doing wrong.
/edit: three hours of messing around and I figured it out:
- FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=“/config/config.yaml”
Must not have quotation marks. Removed them and now it’s working.

Man that’s finicky…
It’s just YAML, if you do
FILEBROWSER_CONFIG:"/config/config.yaml"instead it might work with quotes.
When the stable release is published, it’s honestly a no brainer. Although Filestash is a good alternative too.
Ah, this makes sense now. I was wondering why it hadn’t been updated in a while, that was my only hangup.
I saw this the other day as well when i was looking at filebrowsers github looking into seeing if it had SSO support. It’s a shame really.
