## File Browser by cloudimg
File Browser is the popular open source, self-hosted web file manager - browse, upload, download, edit, preview and share the files in a directory through a clean, fast web UI, with multi-user support and per-user scopes and permissions. A lightweight alternative to hosted file managers. This Amazon Machine Image delivers File Browser fully installed and configured, so a private web file manager is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is File Browser 2.63.
## Application Stack
The File Browser server - a single Go binary that serves both the API and the web UI - runs behind nginx as a reverse proxy. The datastore is an embedded SQLite database.
## Secure First Boot
Authentication is required. On the first boot of every instance a one shot service recreates the database (yielding a fresh per-instance session signing key) and creates a single administrator account with a per-instance password written to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
## Ready To Use
Sign in as the administrator, browse and manage the files under the data directory, upload and download, create share links, and add users with their own scopes.
## cloudimg Support
cloudimg provides 24/7 technical support for this image, covering deployment, upgrades, integrations, TLS termination and storage.
