Pol Montanera 232e697301 Fix FileBrowser Quantum direct web access (#2979)
* Fix FileBrowser Quantum direct web access

* fix(filebrowser_quantum): make direct ip:port access actually work

ports: {8080/tcp: 8071} alone (as originally proposed) publishes the app's
own port, but FileBrowser Quantum's server.baseURL is set at boot to the
Supervisor ingress-entry path (an opaque, per-install hash), so the app only
serves correctly under that exact path -- a bare port publish gives an
unreachable page, per alexbelgium's own analysis on #2978.

Add a second, dedicated nginx vhost (direct.conf) that proxies a fixed public
path (/filebrowser_quantum/) onto the same ingress-entry baseURL the existing
ingress vhost already targets, instead of changing the app's baseURL itself.
This leaves the ingress vhost, and therefore Ingress access, completely
unchanged -- only the new vhost is new surface area. config.yaml now
publishes the new vhost's internal port (8072) to host 8071, not the app's
own 8080 directly.

Home assistant add-on: FileBrowser Quantum

I maintain this and other Home Assistant add-ons in my free time: keeping up with upstream changes, HA changes, and testing on real hardware takes a lot of time (and some money). I use around 5-10 hours a week for this. If this add-on saves you time or makes your setup easier, I would be very grateful for your support!

About

FileBrowser Quantum is a modern, responsive, multi-source file manager with realtime indexing, advanced sharing, and expanded authentication options (password, proxy, OIDC, or no-auth). It is a maintained fork of the original FileBrowser project.

This addon is based on the docker image from the FileBrowser Quantum project.

  3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
