Deploy OpenList

OpenList brings local files and cloud storage into one file browser, with previews, sharing and WebDAV access. The OpenList docs cover its storage drivers.

Quick start

1. Choose an initial admin password on the deploy form.
2. Click Deploy on nibrun, open the app's URL, and sign in as admin with that password.
3. Open the admin panel at /@manage and add a storage provider with its own credentials and mount path. A new instance starts with no storage mounts.

Guest access is disabled by default. The initial password only creates the admin account on first boot; change an existing account's password inside OpenList.

Store files on the nibrun volume

To use the local persistent volume instead of a cloud provider:

1. Add a Local storage with mount path /files and root folder /app/data. Enable link signing and leave thumbnails disabled.
2. In the file browser, create a directory named files inside that mount.
3. Edit the storage's root folder to /app/data/files, then upload into /files.

The dedicated directory keeps your uploaded files separate from OpenList's database and configuration. Both the files and settings survive a redeploy.

Connect a WebDAV client to https://<your-app>.nibrun.app/dav/ with your OpenList account. The local mount appears under /files/.

What has been verified

The official v4.2.6 binary includes the web interface. Admin login, local uploads and downloads, WebDAV listing and download, and file and settings persistence after redeployment have been tested on nibrun. Cloud-provider integrations and large concurrent transfers have not.

Media thumbnails need external tools such as FFmpeg. Offline downloads through aria2, Transmission or qBittorrent need separately available services; the preset does not install them.
