Unable to install an app

TrueNAS General
1

Hi,

I am using TrueNAS 25.04.1.

I want to install “File Browser”.

On the install page, I configured the Storage Configuration / File Browser Config Storage / Type entry to “Host Path (Path that already exists on the system)”

I used first “/mnt/raid/data” which is a valid dataset, and then “/mnt/raid/data/FileManager”, adding a directory when the first failed.

It’s the only entry I modified, I don’t know what to do with the others.

With “/mnt/raid/data” , it fails displaying:

[EFAULT] Failed to render compose templates: Traceback (most recent call

It’s the first app I try to install, I am certainly missing something basic!

Any help would be appreciated.

Expected at least 1 [storage.additional_storage] to be set

You have to add another hostpath and mount storage to it.

When you configured the storage settings, you configured where app data will be stored, but Filebrowser also needs you to mount (in Additional Storage) the location where it accesses the data for you to browse. IIRC it objects to mounting the root dataset, so you might need to mount mnt/raid/data and add additional mount points for any other datasets.

That worked, thanks!

And now, I have trouble finding the password.
I read it’s on in the install logs, but I don’t know how to access them?

filebrowser assigns a randomly generated password and prints in in the apps log

Yep, and as I said, I don’t know how to see the log.

on the apps screen you should see these three buttons:
