Akki:
I have the solution
Thanks, but why did you feel the need to join just to post this? It’s been posted here a number of times recently. See:
I’m not really sure what else to suggest–I just installed this app, with its settings at defaults other than adding a host path for storage. Once it was up, I clicked on the Logs button for the filebrowser container, and see this:
[image]
Logging in with admin/QHLozehtcEpnXdAI was successful as expected.
The password is of course randomly generated, so yours will be different.
and
File Browser no longer uses the default password of admin, but now generates a random one on first start. To find out what it is for your installation, check the logs for the filebrowser container:
[image]
and (posted two days ago by another user who felt the need to join to post the same thing):
Password of filebrowser is auto-generated but somehow nobody on TrueNAS community seems to know that. You have to check docker logs.
sudo docker ps -a
sudo docket logs [filebrowser container id]
Warning: filebrowser.db can’t be found. Initialing in /config/
Using database: /config/filebrowser.db
Using config file: /config/settings.json
Performing quick setup
User ‘admin’ initialized with randomly generated password: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
