Really? I never tried the original but didn’t have much problems setting up quantum. I had to modify my caddy file somewhat to suite my needs, but just works now.

Did you make any modifications for large file uploads? My main problem was that big files (As in 5GB) would fail.

No changes to the container image, but I had to fiddle with the config file. There is an option (tokenExpirationHours) to set for how long a token is valid, default is 2 hours. I can only find this in the commented example config, setting it to sometime really high like 50 let my friend upload his audiobooks without problems.

Create a config file and place it somewhere the container can access it. Then add the environment variable FILEBROWSER_CONFIG=/some/path/to/your/config.yaml.

Here is a snippet from my config:

server:
  # ...
auth:
  tokenExpirationHours: 50
  # ...
userDefaults:
  fileLoading:
    maxConcurrentUpload: 100 # The inferface only shows up to 10 so I don't know if setting this value higher does anything
    uploadChunkSizeMb: 10

tokenExpirationHours is the key to set.
