FileBrowser app not installing correctly

[rvissers]

Been trying to run the installer for the FileBrowser app.  But not matter my settings (default or custom) I keep getting this error.  Anybody else got it running?

Make sure when you are configuring filebrowser that in the "Storage Configuration" section you are adding an additional storage. 

For mine I simply just added the path: /mnt/HDDs (as shown below)

Doing this worked and allowed the browser to launch!

I am quite new to TrueNas so this was just trial and error for me.  Once the application was launch I was able to connect following the instructions on Installation - File Browser

I did run into an issue that for my sub datasets, specifically one for applications.  It say I "don't have permission to access this." despite the user settings for all datasets being root.  Not sure if anyone else would have some insight on this issue.

I had the same issue, but as shown above by Obligatorytoast, you need to mount something for it to work with. 

I found that adding the User Apps with Read/Modify permissions for the dataset or share (depending on how granular you are with permissions) helped me.

I have found that any further work or updates to this app are unlikely to happen, but someone has taken it and spawned a potentially better app. Search github for FileBrowser Quantum.

So regardless of which FileBrowser you go with you can't just install it and expect to see all the datasets on the HexOS server?  I'm not to shook up about this, I am just used to global file browsers of the linux distro I have.  Well, and windows explorer as well I guess.  I guess as the admin I am just used to seeing everything because I have access to everything.  I'm probably just missing something yet.
