Filebrowser: Open Source Web File Manager (feat. NixOS)

In this video, I explain why I moved away from Google One's 200GB plan to hosting files on my home server using Filebrowser. I'll show you all of Filebrowser's key features including file navigation, preview capabilities, sharing options, user management, and interface customization. I also provide a complete walkthrough of how to install and configure Filebrowser on NixOS.

This solution is perfect if you're looking for a self-hosted alternative to cloud storage with a clean web interface accessible from any device. Whether you're a NixOS user or just interested in file hosting alternatives, this guide covers everything you need to get started.
