Compose — Tinyfilemanager Docker

Deploying TinyFileManager via Docker Compose is a highly efficient way to set up a powerful, web-based file management system with minimal overhead. This single-file PHP solution allows you to manage, edit, and preview files directly from your browser without complex dependencies or a database. Why Use Docker Compose for TinyFileManager?

Using Docker Compose simplifies deployment by defining your configuration in a single .yml file. This approach offers:

Ease of Setup: Quickly spin up the application without worrying about local PHP or web server dependencies.

Portability: Move your entire file manager setup between servers by just copying the project directory and the Compose file.

Data Persistence: Easily map host directories to the container to ensure your managed files remain safe even if the container is removed. Quick Start: Basic docker-compose.yml

To get started, create a new directory for your project and add a docker-compose.yml file with the following content: tinyfilemanager docker compose

version: '3.8' services: tinyfilemanager: image: tinyfilemanager/tinyfilemanager:master container_name: tinyfilemanager restart: always ports: - "8080:80" volumes: - ./data:/var/www/html/data - ./config.php:/var/www/html/index.php Use code with caution. What is Docker Compose? - Docker Docs

Cannot Upload Large Files

Add to docker-compose.yml:

environment:
  - MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE=500M

Step 3: Deploy and Run

1. Start the container:

   docker-compose up -d
   

2. Check if it's running:

   docker ps
   

5.5 Adding Traefik (Automatic Let’s Encrypt)

For the ultimate ease, use Traefik as your reverse proxy:

version: '3.8'
services:
tinyfilemanager:
image: tinyfilemanager/tinyfilemanager:latest
labels:
- "traefik.enable=true"
- "traefik.http.routers.tfm.rule=Host(files.yourdomain.com)"
- "traefik.http.routers.tfm.tls.certResolver=letsencrypt"
networks:
- traefik
networks:
traefik:
external: true

(Assumes you have Traefik already running with a dedicated network.)
