# filebrowser
A stylish web-based file browser
## Synopsis
File Browser CLI lets you create the database to use with File Browser,
manage your users and all the configurations without accessing the
web interface.
If you've never run File Browser, you'll need to have a database for
it. Don't worry: you don't need to setup a separate database server.
We're using Bolt DB which is a single file database and all managed
by ourselves.
For this specific command, all the flags you have available (except
"config" for the configuration file), can be given either through
environment variables or configuration files.
If you don't set "config", it will look for a configuration file called
.filebrowser.{json, toml, yaml, yml} in the following directories:
- ./
- $HOME/
- /etc/filebrowser/
The precedence of the configuration values are as follows:
- flags
- environment variables
- configuration file
- database values
- defaults
The environment variables are prefixed by "FB_" followed by the option
name in caps. So to set "database" via an env variable, you should
set FB_DATABASE.
Also, if the database path doesn't exist, File Browser will enter into
the quick setup mode and a new database will be bootstrapped and a new
user created with the credentials from options "username" and "password".
