Hi, I am running a pure Debian LXC container on Proxmox and have installed Filebrowser. When I enter the default login details “admin” and “admin” it doesn’t log in and has the error “Wrong credentials”. Any idea what I can do to get it working?

Hi @voiceoverguy
It looks like there’s a small bug. Right after installation, open a terminal and run systemctl status filebrowser: you’ll find the generated admin password there. You can find it too in Webadmin>tools>services>filebrowser>journalctl log.

Otherwise, you can recreate a database using the filebrowser commands (root or sudo):

rm database.db
/var/www/filebrowser/filebrowser config init --database /var/www/filebrowser/database.db
chown -R filebrowser:filebrowser database.db
/var/www/filebrowser/filebrowser users add admin admin --perm.admin --database database.db
systemctl restart filebrowser

But I don’t know how this will survive upgrades.

FileBrowser has changed the default password for admin. It is now randomly generated and the password can be found in the service logs of the app 's Generated random admin password for quick setup: XXXXXXX

edit. I realise that I am repeating what @otm33 said clearly enough.
