File Browser and Allo.com not loading

Troubleshooting
41

You need to replace <password> with the actual password you wanna use.

42

yep, did that too but still get

43

what exactly did you execute?
should be something like

/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser users update dietpi foobarbaz --perm.admin
44

exactly that message

45

I don’t want the reply, I wanna know what you wrote into your CLI.

46

I wrote this (changing the “password” with my new password.) I did not remove the symbols <> . Should I do so?

47

I think a -p is missing, see:
https://filebrowser.org/cli/filebrowser-users-update

/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser users update dietpi -p myNewPassword --perm.admin

But I can not test it right now.

48

when I run

changing “mynewpassword” I get this

2024/03/06 11:33:22 ./filebrowser.db does not exist. Please run 'filebrowser config init' first.

Something seems seriously off with your File Browser installation. Maybe you can just reinstall?

50

ok you can init the new DB as follow

systemctl stop filebrowser
cd /mnt/dietpi_userdata/filebrowser
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser config init
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser config set -a 0.0.0.0 -p 8084 -r /mnt
/opt/filebrowser/filebrowser users add dietpi myNewPassword --perm.admin
systemctl start filebrowser

or try

dietpi-software reinstall 198
51

I just had a look at the smb of the dietpi on my machine running ubuntu. when I click on the dietpi_userdata it just keeps opening and other window and another… is there something else wrong? could this explain it?

52

can we focus on one issue first before mixing more and more challanges.

53

sure, just thought that might have something to do with it, sorry

54

this seems to have done the trick. I can now login. Seems to be working now. Thanks
