In this tutorial, you will learn how to install Filebrowser on MXLinux Latest. Filebrowser is a web-based file manager that makes it easy to manage your files and folders from anywhere. It is a great tool for people who need to manage their files on remote servers or cloud storage accounts. Filebrowser is open-source software that is available for installation on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Docker.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you will need a few things:

• A server running MXLinux Latest
• Root access or permission to use sudo

Step 1: Download Filebrowser

First, we need to download Filebrowser. Go to https://filebrowser.org/ and click on "Download". Select "Linux" and then "64-bit" or "32-bit" depending on your system architecture.

Step 2: Extract Filebrowser

Once the download is complete, switch to the directory where the file was downloaded (usually the Downloads folder).

Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where the file was downloaded. Use the following command to extract the file:

tar -zxvf filebrowser-linux-amd64.tar.gz

This will extract the contents of the file to a new directory called "filebrowser".

Step 3: Configure Filebrowser

Now we need to create a configuration file for Filebrowser. We will use the default configuration as an example. To do this, navigate to the filebrowser directory and make a copy of the sample configuration file:

cd filebrowser
cp ./.filebrowser.json.sample ./.filebrowser.json

Next, edit the configuration file:

nano ./.filebrowser.json

You will see a JSON file with various configuration options. You can change these options as needed, but the default options should work fine.

Change the root property to the directory that you want to manage with Filebrowser. For example, to manage the files in your home directory, your configuration file should look like this:

{
  "port": 8080,
  "root": "/home/yourusername/",
  "baseURL": "",
  "address": "",
  "log": "stdout",
  "database": "./filebrowser.db",
  "commands": [
    {
      "name": "Open",
      "path": "/usr/bin/xdg-open",
      "enable": true
    }
  ]
}

Step 4: Run Filebrowser

Finally, it's time to run Filebrowser. Use the following command to start Filebrowser:

./filebrowser

Filebrowser will listen on port 8080. To access Filebrowser, open a web browser and go to https://localhost:8080 (if you are accessing it locally) or https://yourserveripaddress:8080 (if you are accessing it remotely).

You will now be able to manage your files using Filebrowser.
