File Browser substitute after September 1st 2026?
Posted by popuman
Found this when I logged in to File Browser: File Browser is being archived This project is being wound down. It is archived on 2026-09-01, after which there will be no further releases, bug fixes, or security fixes. Existing releases and Docker images stay online. Do not expose this instance directly to the internet without authentication in front of it. So, any alternatives?

Hey popuman, good catch, and nothing to worry about today. SparkBox bundles File Browser as its file-manager app, and the archive notice just means the upstream project stops getting new releases after Sept 1 — the version you're running keeps working exactly as it does now, since it's self-hosted and not a live service that can switch off on its own. There isn't a replacement picked out yet on our side. I'm flagging this to Tom's team as something worth planning for since a few installs lean on it — will update if that changes.
