Warning
File Browser is being archived on 2026-09-01. On that date this repository becomes read-only. There will be no further releases, and no security fixes, including for the known unfixed issues listed below.
Existing releases and Docker images stay online and will not be withdrawn. All documentation lives in this repository under
www/docs.
File Browser provides a file managing interface within a specified directory and it can be used to upload, delete, preview and edit your files. It is a create-your-own-cloud-kind of software where you can just install it on your server, direct it to a path and access your files through a nice web interface.
Documentation
Documentation on how to install, configure, and build this project lives in www/docs in this repository.
Project Status
This project is a finished product which fulfills its goal: be a single binary web File Browser which can be run by anyone anywhere. It has been in maintenance-only mode, and is now being wound down.
- The repository is archived on 2026-09-01 and becomes read-only.
- One last planned release ships before that date. It contains no functional changes, only a wind-down notice.
- After that date there are no further releases, bug fixes, or security fixes.
- Existing releases and Docker images stay online and are not withdrawn.
Please read @hacdias' personal reflection on the project status.
Security
No further security fixes will be released. Two known issue classes remain unaddressed and will not be fixed:
- Command execution, runner, and hooks (opt-in, disabled by default, #5199)
- Session and JWT handling (#5216)
Previously published advisories are listed under security advisories. Reporting instructions, which apply until 2026-09-01, are in SECURITY.md.
If you keep running File Browser after the archive date, treat it as unmaintained software:
- Do not expose it directly to the internet. Put it behind a reverse proxy that terminates TLS and performs its own authentication.
- Keep the command runner disabled. It is off by default, so leave it off. See #5199 and
www/docs/command-execution.md. - Run it unprivileged, inside a container, with only the directory you intend to serve mounted into it.
Contributing
New features are not being accepted. Bug reports and bug-fix pull requests are still looked at until 2026-09-01, but there is no guarantee that they will be merged.
CONTRIBUTING.md documents how to build and develop the project, which remains useful to anyone forking it.
