DietPi FileBrowser does not immediately pick up smb drive

Troubleshooting

Required Information

  • DietPi version | core = 9
  • Distro version | bookworm
  • Kernel version | Linux filebrowser-cloud 6.1.0-23-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.99-1 (2024-07-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Hello, I have a DietPi VM running under Proxmox to host a Docker container running FileBrowser to serve as my NAS. I am also running Portainer to control my docker containers. To configure the storage, I have a TrueNAS Scale VM sharing an SMB drive to my network and DietPi is mounting that drive to my FileBrowser location.

The issue I am having is upon a reboot of my DietPi VM the DietPi OS picks up and mounts my SMB share correctly because I have navigate to and access the files shared through the cli, but the FileBrowser container does not pick up the share. To fix this, I need to go into the Portainer web interface and manually restart the FileBrowser container and finally FileBrowser sees the share.

Another issue I have is upon shutdown of the DietPi VM, “systemd-logind.service/stop running” and “mnt-dietpi_userdata-data-aiden.mount/stop running” will not actually finish but timeout, leading to long full system reboot/shutdown. Not sure if this has to do with my previous issue.

I don’t particularly know how to research either of these issues because I am still new to setting all this up.

for clarification, you run Docker just to host filebrowser only? Because we offer this simple app without the overhead of running Docker engine.

yea that’s how I have it set up. I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyjX6BLJAfw and this is the link to the docker image he used https://hub.docker.com/r/hurlenko/filebrowser. where should I get the filebrowser app for DietPi?

Did you tried dietpi-software? Cloud and Backup Systems Software Options - DietPi.com Docs

I finally got it working, thank you for the suggestion. I am still very new to the whole home lab thing haha.

don’t forget to remove Docker if not needed anymore.
