Filebrowser not have permission

Good morning,

Since a few days I have problems with the filebrowser.
After an upgrade, both the filebrowser to its latest version and ihost to 2.5.2
I can’t create or edit files on the volumes I have mounted.
I browse through the volumes, ready them and it all works correctly, but if I try to create a file, directory or edit an existing one, it gives me a permissions error: permission denied

I don’t know if anything has changed in the way ihost mounts the volumes or permissions and some extra variable with UID, GID, etc. should be put in order to correct this problem.

Any of you have this problem and have been able to find a solution?

Thank you very much

Good afternoon! Try adding the “auth.method=noauth” parameter when starting the file browser.

Good morning,

Could you please indicate how to introduce it in the docker deployment on ihost?

I’ve tried to put it in Show Advanced Settings → Command : "auth.method=noauth

And when I pick it up I get error:

Error: unknown command “auth.method=noauth” for “file browser”

The installation instructions can be found at the link:

In the end, it should look something like this

Yes, but it doesn’t let me edit the gray shaded area you indicate, in order to add it, the ihost options are these:

once I fill it up, it appears:

as I can edit those gray values ​​in order to add the auth.method=noauth

Thank you very much

Unfortunately, I no longer remember which fields I wrote the application launch parameters into. Try two options: 1) specify the value “auth.method” in the “Variable” field, and “noauth” in the “Value” field; 2) write the parameter “auth.method=noauth” in the “Command” field.

I have included the noauth , and verified that it appears, but it continues an erroneous operation without permissions:

I am trying to create a test directory:

Then look at these settings

Also, try installing file browser not in the root, but in your volume.
For example, like mine:
filebrowser-volume:/config
filebrowser-volume:/database
filebrowser-volume:/srv
