Self-host File Browser, the Docker-friendly web file manager.
File Browser gives you a private web UI for your files: upload, preview, edit and share from your own branded subdomain with free SSL, without hand-writing Docker hosting steps.
Your web file manager
Run File Browser as a personal file manager for uploads, previews, edits and sharing without putting documents into a shared demo tool.
Docker-style deploy, less setup
The template uses the upstream File Browser repo and reached a live login page in production smoke testing. A free or paid server slot is required to deploy.
Recipe notes
Use a generated admin password, persistent storage and a controlled command-runner setting before treating it as a production file vault.

Frequently asked questions
Is File Browser open source? +
Yes. File Browser is open-source software. VibeNest launches it from the upstream GitHub repository and gives it a branded subdomain with free SSL.
Is this like running File Browser with Docker? +
The goal is the same: a hosted File Browser web UI. VibeNest handles the deploy flow, subdomain and SSL so you do not have to wire the Docker hosting path by hand.
Why should I run my own File Browser instance? +
Files are personal state. Your own instance keeps users, storage and sharing under your account instead of relying on a public demo or shared utility.
Does it need storage? +
Yes. Treat File Browser as a stateful app. Use persistent storage for real files and keep backups for anything important.
Is it ready for production secrets? +
Use a generated admin password and review command-runner settings before putting sensitive files inside.
