Alexandre 48ac78c59d fix(filebrowser_quantum): repair direct access on port 8071 (#2998)
* fix(filebrowser_quantum): repair direct access on port 8071

1.5.1.1 published the port but direct access still did not work, in two ways
measured against a running instance:

1. The root redirect was absolute, so nginx built it from $server_port and
   sent the browser to :8072 — the container-internal port, not the published
   one. `absolute_redirect off` keeps the redirect relative.
2. The page served under /filebrowser_quantum/ referenced its assets under
   the app's own baseURL (the ingress entry path), which that vhost did not
   route: GET /api/hassio_ingress/<hash>/public/static/favicon.svg returned
   404 while the same file under /filebrowser_quantum/ returned 200. The page
   loaded and every asset on it failed.

Rather than translating paths, the vhost now passes requests through
unchanged and redirects only the bare root to the app's baseURL, which is
what its own links already point at. Asset, API and websocket URLs then work
without any response rewriting. Ingress is untouched.

* docs(filebrowser_quantum): describe the legacy redirects accurately

The comments, CHANGELOG and README still said only the bare root was
redirected, which stopped being true when the two /filebrowser_quantum
compatibility redirects were added. Raised by CodeRabbit and Codex.

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.

Installation

The installation of this add-on is pretty straightforward and not different in comparison to installing any other Home Assistant add-on.

  1. Add my add-ons repository to your home assistant instance (in supervisor addons store at top right, or click button below if you have configured my HA) Open your Home Assistant instance and show the add add-on repository dialog with a specific repository URL pre-filled.
  2. Install this add-on.
  3. Click the Save button to store your configuration.
  4. Start the add-on.
  5. Check the logs of the add-on to see if everything went well.
  6. Access the web UI through the sidebar or at <your-ip>:8071.

Configuration

The web UI can be found at <your-ip>:8071 or through the Home Assistant sidebar when using Ingress. Direct access redirects to the add-on's configured base path, so the address bar will show a longer URL than the one you typed.

Default credentials:

  • Username: admin
  • Password: admin

Important: Change the default credentials immediately after first login for security.

Options

Option Type Default Description
auth_method list password Authentication method (password, noauth, proxy, oidc)
default_user_scope str / The root filesystem path used as the FileBrowser source and as the default scope for all users. Must be an existing absolute directory path (e.g. /share, /media).
localdisks str (optional) Local drives to mount (e.g., sda1,sdb1,MYNAS)
networkdisks str (optional) SMB shares to mount (e.g., //SERVER/SHARE)
cifsusername str (optional) SMB username for network shares
cifspassword str (optional) SMB password for network shares
cifsdomain str (optional) SMB domain for network shares

Setup

  1. Start the add-on and wait for it to initialize.
  2. Access the web interface through the Home Assistant sidebar or at <your-ip>:8071.
  3. Log in using the default credentials:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: admin
  4. Important: Immediately change the default password by clicking on "Settings" > "User Management".
  5. Configure additional sources and authentication settings through the add-on options or the web interface.
