Filebrowser Web UI not accessible through a Caddy reverse proxy

[tiiraluoto]

Hello

As said in the title the Web UI cannot be accessed externally even with Caddy.
This seems to be an issue specific to filebrowser since other containers work well via caddy.

It actually works for me with reverse proxy Caddy
My enviroments are:
FB_DATABASE
FB_USERNAME
FB_PASSWORD

Would you mind sharing your settings, the docker-compose.yml and Caddyfile?
Are you using a custom build of Caddy/version?
I have the same problem too.

Here you go, i used this caddy container here -> https://hub.docker.com/_/caddy

Let me know if you have any problem.

Thanks MidnightPurple34,

I was able to get it working. My setup needs to have containers access an external network if the container is on the computer where caddy is running. It would not work with the external network declared (caddy at dotheevo). I spun it up on another computer, added a port mapping and got it working!

I have tried several web based file managers, filestash, sftpgo, and a few others. Filebrowser with your files is the only one that works. As I understand it, Caddy can't do ssh (needed for sftp) yet without a custom build and using a json file instead of a Caddyfile. Learning the json part is what is holding me back from trying that approach.

This is one part of retiring Nextcloud for me. NC seems to be a jack of all trades but a master of none. I use it to remotely access my files and to sync files from phones to storage. Filebrowser now takes care of half of what I need. Many thanks!

Below are my files, using the latest caddy and no .env file.

docker-compose.yml

services:
  filebrowser:
    container_name: filebrowser
    image: hurlenko/filebrowser
    user: "1000:1000"
    volumes:
      - /home/user-name/storage-location:/data
      - /home/user-name/docker/filebrowser/config:/config
    ports:
      - "port#:8080"
    environment:
      FB_DATABASE:
      FB_USERNAME:
      FB_PASSWORD:
    restart: always

Caddyfile

subdomain.{$MY_DOMAIN} {
  log {
    level INFO
    output file /mapped-to-local-file/log.txt {
      roll_size 10MB
      roll_keep 10
    }
  }

  }
}
