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 of my >110 addons so regularly I install test machines (and purchase some test services such as vpn) that I don't use myself to troubleshoot and improve the addons

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 major fork of the original Filebrowser project, designed for faster browsing and richer previews.

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