How to disable authentication?

[jo75]

You can set this environment variable:
FB_NOAUTH=noauth

[unxplained]

this is not working for me

[francis-sousa]

this is not working for me either

same here, not working for me - could this get a higher prior please ?

Commenting to say I came looking for a possible solution. I'm just running with u:guest p:pass for now.

What have you tried and what doesn't work exactly? There's a section in the documentation.

I just tried that method by using sh in the container but it says 'filebrowser not found.' I tried using an env variable in some different ways like:

FB_NOAUTH=true
or
FB_AUTH.METHOD=noauth

but no dice.

# Init the database
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/config hurlenko/filebrowser:latest -d /config/filebrowser.db config init --auth.method=noauth
# Add a user
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/config hurlenko/filebrowser:latest -d /config/filebrowser.db users add username password --perm.admin
# Run
docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`:/config hurlenko/filebrowser:latest

Thanks! im using this and AriaNg on my server. youre doing a great job. :)

My mistake - I tried adding them as docker env variables... :-(

Did you found a solution?
I'm trying to do it in docker-compose no solution :\

I use both

FB_NOAUTH=true
FB_AUTH.METHOD=noauth

username use noauth

Tried this on TrueNAS Scale VM

Any solution how to do it via docker-compose.yaml?

Hi, I'm a bit late to the party but i hope this helps, in docker compose you can config all the environment variables defined here, i was able to config the "noauth" like this:

services:
  filebrowser:
    image: hurlenko/filebrowser
    container_name: filebrowser
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    volumes:
      - ./data/explorer:/data
      - ./data/conf:/config
    environment:
      - FB_NOAUTH=true

but this won't work if it's not the the first time you run the container (i.e. the filebrowser.db file is already created in the container's /data folder), so it's important that you delete this file and then restart the compose file to make it work.

Thanks for the filebrowser.db tip. After removing the file, it worked
