File Browser
In this tutorial we will take a look at how you can upload and download files to your Sliplane volumes. This tutorial assumes that you already have a service with an attached volume deployed. If you don’t have one, you can follow the Deploying a Service tutorial to get started.
Prerequisites
- A Sliplane account
- A service with an attached volume
- 10 minutes of your time!
Setup
To access our volume we are going to create a new service that will provide us a beautiful web interface to browse the files in our volume.
For that we are going to use the File Browser project. To deploy it, we simply need to create a new service on the same server as your volume. Select the Registry option and search for filebrowser in the docker hub registry, or copy this url docker.io/filebrowser/filebrowser:latest into the image field. The only other thing you need to do is attach the volume you want to browse at /srv in the volume section. Below you can see what the deployment should look like.
After the service is deployed you can access the file browser by visiting the URL of the service in the Sliplane dashboard.
The default credentials are admin for the username and admin for the password. You should change these after logging in for the first time, you can do this by clicking on the Settings gear icon in the top right corner and then clicking on User Management.
After your done with doing your thing you can delete the service, we won’t need it anymore!
