Reproduction
- Install FileBrowser plugin (openmediavault-filebrowser)
- Prepare share for use with FileBrowser.
- I used a share called "Compose" deemed well suited for first testing.
- a) Very minimal, only holds a few files: My docker compose files.
- b) Check that privileges are as FileBrowser needs them.
- That is user "filebrowser" or group "users" (ID 1000).
- Storage > Shared Folders > share "compose" has:
- Privileges: None defined. Because it only lists my custom made users and groups.
- Access Control List: User "filebrowser" has Read/Write permissions.
- I hope this setup is correct.
- Configure FileBrowser plugin
- Go to: Menu > Services > Filebrowser
- Port: 3670 (default)
- Certificate: None (default)
- Shared folder: I choose the share "Compose" with the sufficient permissions as described above.
- Enabled set to ON.
- Click SAVE.
- Click APPLY in the follow up dialogs.
- Go to: Menu > Services > Filebrowser
- Check plugin status:
- Dashboard shows "File Browser" as running (green lights).
- Attempt to access FileBrowser
- Go to
http://<YourHostOrIP>:3670
- ❌ No response in Safari.
- ❌ No response in Google Chrome.
- Go to
Further Attemps
- ℹ️ Tried starting/stopping several times.
- ℹ️ Tried with different shares.
- ℹ️ Did a OMV system reboot.
- ℹ️ Uninstalled openmediavault-filebrowser, shut down my only other docker container "plex" to totally isolate it, reinstalled openmediavault-filebrowser, started it while no other docker container running. Nothing.
- ❌ All attempts unsuccessful.
Investigation / Debugging
- I looked into the /var/log/syslog (via SSH as root) and tried to see what I can find. Nothing telling to me.
- Please have a look at them. I carefully disected this and added markers.
- 17:38-18:35 From first attaching my external USB HDD, subsequently installing FileBrowser
- 18:37-19:10 Several starts/stops and unsuccessful connection attempts. No time correlated observations.
- 19:13-19:20 Controlled starts/stops with timestamp correlated observations. Marker: "•••FileBrowser•••"
