## Documentation

# Deploy and Host FileBrowser Quantum on Railway

[FileBrowser Quantum](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser) is a web file manager: browse, upload, preview, search and share files from any browser, with users, permissions and share links.

## About Hosting FileBrowser Quantum

This template runs the official `gtstef/filebrowser:latest` image on port 80 with a persistent volume at `/home/filebrowser/data`. It holds the database, the config file and a `files` folder, which is the root of the file manager. The template generates a random admin password, so the default `admin`/`admin` login does not exist: sign in as `admin` with the value of `FILEBROWSER_ADMIN_PASSWORD` from the service Variables tab, then change it or add users in the settings. Public sign-up is turned off.

The starter config is written to the volume once; edit `/home/filebrowser/data/config.yaml` afterwards to change sources or authentication.

## Common Use Cases

- A private cloud drive for a team or family
- Share links for large files with expiry and passwords
- Browse and preview documents, images and media from a browser

## Dependencies for FileBrowser Quantum Hosting

- One service with a volume; nothing else

### Deployment Dependencies

- [FileBrowser Quantum on GitHub](https://github.com/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser)
- [Docker image](https://hub.docker.com/r/gtstef/filebrowser)
