still waiting for proper TrueNAS file manager, using this for browsing contents of other apps like Jellyfin, Plex, JDownloader2 etc... could result in mess, also the mount paths doesn't seem to be user based, so for multi-user usage there doesn't really seem to be way to define app's user permissions recursively to specific folders/files within a mounted path

I cannot install File Browser selecting a particular dataset because it already has a SMB share. So... because I want to map a dataset as a drive in windows, I don't get to have an on-NAS file browser and file management app? sad face.

Thanks for the nice tutorial! I am currently looking for something like this, to share folders on my TrueNAS not only through SMB/NFS but also through a web interface. I tried Nextcloud from your other tutorial but that seems to conflict a little bit with the dataset structure I had already set up: When installing Nextcloud, it wants its own data directory/dataset and not simply will take my existing datasets... File Browser seems to be able to do that! Only thing I'm wondering for convenience: Is it possible to make FIle Browser use the existing users & groups set up in TrueNAS or do you have to set up these users again in File Browser? Like, the ideal setup for me would be: my LDAP has all my users & groups -> TrueNAS just syncs with that -> File Browser just syncs with either TrueNAS or directly with LDAP. So basically, all users & groups would only need to be created once.

Can Filebrowser smartly handle file copy or file moves within the server without downloading to the client? Does it smartly handle file copy/file moves between multiple TrueNAS Scale or Core systems? Like many people, I have a direct connect between my TrueNAS servers for backup and it would be great to have a smart file move/copy feature between them. It's an operation I do via shell a lot.

you need to stop share first then start the app, afterwards you can start share again. this will work this way. but be careful this app can screw up your permissions.

Great guide. This is the solution I was searching for! The one thing that seems to be missing (at least in my case) is setting the permissions for existing data sets. If you can access the root directory via the web portal, but hit a 'You don't have permission to access this' error when trying to access other folders, you need to set the data set permissions. Find the data set(s) you plan on sharing, edit the permissions and allow user 'Apps' full control - if you're using the default user 568 during installation. Make sure you apply this to all child folders too (if you want full access).

So far, I must say that switching from TrueNAS Core to TrueNAS Scale hasn't lived up to my expectations. I was enticed by the promises of "Go Beyond Storage", "support for KVM virtual machines, Kubernetes, and Docker containers, it’s easy to customize and add applications to suit a wide variety of needs"; catalogs, the ease of using containers instead of iocage for apps, and the seamless installation of numerous apps with the support of GNU/Linux. However, it has been nothing short of disappointing. Updates have already caused issues between ixsystem and the TrueCharts catalog, and the process of installing apps has proven to be more complicated than initially advertised. I can't even get Piwigo up and running, despite the fact that there is an official Piwigo Docker available with the latest version 13.8. In TrueNAS Scale, it's nowhere to be found in the official catalog, and even when using TrueCharts, the only available version is 11.5 in the incubator, which is plagued with database problems related to Mariadb. The time I've wasted on this migration is truly incalculable. I may end up reverting back to using VMs. To make matters worse, the latest update of Nextcloud from the TrueCharts catalog has once again caused everything to break, rendering Nextcloud inaccessible. I've not only lost precious time and days but also important data. I sincerely hope that they can resolve the issues with TrueCharts or clarify whether we can install the existing official Docker images that are widely adopted in the world of open-source software using GNU/Linux. Yesterday I updated jellyfin (the only app I left) and now there are no apps in the applications menu, it just disappears ... At this point, I regretfully cannot recommend migrating to TrueNAS Scale.

Thanks for the tutorial! I appreciate it. Didn't see a discussion post on this in your forums but..... The latest version of Bluefin (TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.4.2) leaves apps unable to choose between a) path under ix-application and b) hostpath. under Config Storage/Additional Storage Under the Apps > Settings > Advanced Settings, the Enable host path safety checks is unchecked as shown to do in your video and all had been working just fine after setup with the filebrowser and other apps. Looks like a case of one step forward and 2 steps back. Any thoughts on workarounds?

I am able to have each user write files to the dataset but the user that creates the file cannot delete their own file. If I give them modify permissions they can delete anything in the dataset. How do I fix this???

I believe you must add "dad" to their respective user groups for their user files, then you can control their files. But the files they make need to be by their user.
