Hi.

EDIT 10/14/2025: now admin/admin works.

Default password was not working and I spend time to search solution.

What is not working (for me):

hash password (command in container: filebrowser hash YourWord) and add username and this hashed password to config/settings.json file as two new lines.

What is working:

According to documentation of filebrowser, when You first time run it. Admin password is randomly generated and show to the docker log. It is just for one time, You must read it from here.

How to read?

On casaOS app filebrowser:

3 dots → Settings

icon “Terminal and Logs”

tab “Logs”

(if You see blur rainbow colored icons, You must enable Canvas permissions in Your browser- LibreWolf in my case).

FAQ:

I missed first time generated password when I run container first time, where is my password now?

You can manually delete:

/DATA/AppData/big-bear-filebrowser/

and run container again. New password will be generated.

Or in casaOS webUI click Uninstall App, checkbox: delete user data. And from AppStore install it again.

At least Tip for log viewer: Dozzle.

EDIT 10/14/2025: now admin/admin works.

Votre instance est désormais opérationnelle. L’explorateur de fichiers initialisera automatiquement une base de données contenant la configuration et les utilisateurs. Vous trouverez l’adresse IP de votre instance, ainsi que le mot de passe généré aléatoirement pour l’utilisateur admin, dans les journaux de la console. De portainer par exemple

File Browser 2.53.1 did not work with the default password of admin/admin. I had to retrieve the temporary password from the logs as indicated above. Filebrowser has as password requirements tool which checks against easily guessed passwords (even if you lower minimum password length from 12 to 1). You will never be able to change the temporary password to “admin”. But, if you want to disable login and password altogether (which is fine for home setup with one user), go the terminal and copy the following command without quotes, “filebrowser config set --auth.method=noauth”

after install, open app logs, there will be your **randomly generated password

(for those who can’t understand why admin/admin doesn’t work)**
