FileBrowser v2.44.0 - Port 80 Optimization for Clean NSL URLs

Summary

Optimizes FileBrowser configuration for NSL Router with explicit port 80 declaration, resulting in clean HTTPS URLs without port numbers.

Changes

Version

  • Current: v2.44.0 (Already latest stable)
  • No version update required - focusing on configuration optimization

Port Configuration Enhancement

Before

expose:
  - 80
# webui_port was implied

After

expose:
  - 80
x-casaos:
  webui_port: 80  # NEW: Explicit declaration

Result:

  • Old URL: https://80-filebrowser-[username].nsl.sh (potential)
  • New URL: https://filebrowser-[username].nsl.shClean!

NSL Router Integration

By explicitly setting webui_port: 80, the NSL Router generates clean URLs without port prefixes:

  • Port 80 → No port in URL
  • Other ports → Port prefix in URL (e.g., 3000-appname)

Asset URLs Updated

All assets now point to main Yundera repository:

Configuration Details

Pre-install Commands (Unchanged)

docker run --rm -v /DATA/AppData/filebrowser/db/:/db \
  filebrowser/filebrowser:v2.44.0 config init --database /db/database.db

docker run --rm -v /DATA/AppData/filebrowser/:/data ubuntu:22.04 \
  chown -R $PUID:$PGID /data

docker run --rm -v /DATA/AppData/filebrowser/db/:/db \
  filebrowser/filebrowser:v2.44.0 users add admin $PCS_DEFAULT_PASSWORD \
  --perm.admin --database /db/database.db

Security Compliance:

  • ✅ Specific version tags (v2.44.0, ubuntu:22.04)
  • ✅ Proper user permissions (--user $PUID:$PGID)
  • ✅ Idempotent operations (safe to run multiple times)
  • ✅ No hardcoded credentials ($PCS_DEFAULT_PASSWORD)

User & Permissions

user: $PUID:$PGID  # Required for user directory access

Rationale:

  • FileBrowser accesses user directories (/DATA/Documents, /DATA/Downloads)
  • Must run as $PUID:$PGID for proper file permissions
  • Follows CasaOS permission guidelines

Volume Mappings

volumes:
  - /DATA/AppData/$AppID:/config
  - /DATA/Documents:/srv/Documents
  - /DATA/Downloads:/srv/Downloads  
  - /DATA/Media:/srv/Media
  - /DATA/Gallery:/srv/Gallery

User-Friendly Directories: All mounted with user access

Resource Configuration

cpu_shares: 80  # User-Facing Interactive
memory:
  reservations: 64M

Rationale:

  • cpu_shares 80: Real-time interactive application
  • 64M reservation: Lightweight file browser
  • No upper memory limit: Can scale for large directory listings

Testing Performed

✅ Fresh Installation

  • Pre-install commands execute successfully
  • Admin user created with $PCS_DEFAULT_PASSWORD
  • Database initialized correctly
  • NSL Router clean URL access

✅ Uninstall/Reinstall

  • Data persists in /DATA/AppData/filebrowser/
  • Admin account retained
  • Configuration preserved
  • No permission issues

✅ NSL Router Access

  • URL: https://filebrowser-[username].nsl.sh ✅ Clean!
  • HTTPS: Certificate handled by mesh router
  • Port 80: Routing confirmed working

✅ Functionality

  • File browsing in all mapped directories
  • File upload/download
  • File editing
  • User management
  • Share link generation

✅ Permissions

  • User directories writable ($PUID:$PGID)
  • AppData directory accessible
  • No permission errors on file operations

Checklist

Security ✅

  • Authentication enabled (pre-install creates admin)
  • Default password uses $PCS_DEFAULT_PASSWORD
  • No hardcoded credentials
  • Proper user permissions ($PUID:$PGID)
  • Specific version tags (v2.44.0)
  • Pre-install security compliant

Functionality ✅

  • Works immediately after installation
  • Data mapped to appropriate directories
  • No manual configuration required
  • Data persistence verified
  • cpu_shares set (80)
  • Fresh installation tested
  • Uninstall/reinstall tested

Documentation ✅

  • Clear description in 5+ languages
  • Volume descriptions provided
  • Pre-install commands explained
  • Default credentials documented
  • Icons and screenshots (correct URLs)

Files Changed

Modified

  • Apps/FileBrowser/docker-compose.yml
    • Added explicit webui_port: 80 declaration
    • Asset URLs updated to Yundera main repository
    • No functional changes to existing configuration
    • Confirmed port 80 NSL Router compatibility

User Impact

✅ Improvements

  • Clean URLs: No port numbers in web address
  • Better UX: More professional-looking URLs
  • Easier Sharing: Cleaner URLs to share with others
  • NSL Router Optimized: Proper integration with mesh routing

📖 No Breaking Changes

  • All existing functionality preserved
  • Same admin credentials ($PCS_DEFAULT_PASSWORD)
  • Same directory mappings
  • Same performance characteristics

Before vs After

Before

Access: https://80-filebrowser-[username].nsl.sh
or
Access: https://filebrowser-[username].nsl.sh
(depending on NSL Router inference)

After

Access: https://filebrowser-[username].nsl.sh ✅ Guaranteed clean URL

Breaking Changes

None

Migration Notes

No migration required - Configuration optimization only

Additional Context

Why Explicit Port Declaration Matters

  1. Consistency: Ensures NSL Router always generates clean URLs
  2. Documentation: Makes port configuration explicit in compose file
  3. Best Practice: Aligns with CasaOS AppStore standards
  4. No Ambiguity: Clear port 80 declaration for reviewers

FileBrowser Features (Unchanged)

  • Web-based file management
  • File sharing with public links
  • Multiple user support
  • File editing (text files)
  • Command execution (optional)
  • Custom branding
  • Multilingual interface

Related Applications

Works well with:

  • Media servers (Jellyfin, Plex) for media management
  • Download clients (qBittorrent) for download organization
  • Document tools (Stirling PDF) for file access

Tested Environment:

  • CasaOS: Latest stable
  • Docker: 24.x
  • Architectures: amd64, arm64
  • NSL Router: Clean URL confirmed
