⁠Tiny File Manager

Tiny File Manager⁠ in an Alpine Docker container with Nginx and PHP-FPM, for multiple architectures.

⁠Description

The official Docker image uses PHP's built-in web server. Nginx should perform better in production environments.

The container listens on two ports:

• 8080 - the Tiny File Manager webUI
• 8081 - web root set to file storage location, HTML and PHP served as plain text

Basically, the webUI is accessible at https://<host>:8080/ only, but files at https://<host>:8080/files/* are also accessible at https://<host>:8081/*. HTML and PHP files will be rendered if accessed via the former, but not by the latter.

This provides an easy/lazy method for configuring the management webUI and files to be accessible on separate (sub)domains, via an appropriately configured downstream reverse proxy. As files are also accessible via the webUI's port in the normal way, doing anything at all with port 8081 is optional.

For a more detailed description of Tiny File Manager and its configuration see the source repo⁠.

⁠Usage

docker run -d --name TinyFileManager \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  -v /path/to/file/storage:/var/www/html/files \
  moonbuggy2000/tinyfilemanager:latest

Custom configuration can be done via the enviornment or by persisting and editing the config.php file.

⁠Volumes

Files are stored in /var/www/html/files/, so this folder will need to be mounted to persist data.

The Tiny File Manager configuration file is at /var/www/html/config.php, and this can be mounted for any custom configuration that's required.

⁠Environment variables

• PUID - user ID to run as (default: 1000)
• PGID - group ID to run as (default: 1000)
• TZ - set date.timezone in OS and php.ini
• NGINX_LOG_ALL - enable logging of HTTP 200 and 300 responses (accepts: true, false default: false)
• TFM_* - wildcard for config.php parameters

⁠TFM_*

Parameters in /var/www/html/config.php can be set from matching environment variables prepended with TFM_. String values should be quoted and those quote will need to be escaped.

For example: docker run -e TFM_HTTP_HOST=\'host.local\' ..

Sets: $http_host = 'host.local';.
