Tinyfilemanager Docker Compose 📥

If you run a media server, mount your media folders into TFM to upload/manage movies, subtitles, and metadata directly from the web.

TinyFileManager was originally based on the popular filemanager project by Alexandre T. It is distributed as a single file, tinyfilemanager.php. You drop it into a web directory, and instantly you have a file explorer.

docker-compose down

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 tinyfilemanager docker compose
networks:
traefik:
external: true

(Assumes you have Traefik already running with a dedicated network.) If you run a media server, mount your

docker compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:8080. You’ll see the TinyFileManager login screen. Enter admin / admin123. You should now see the data/ directory (empty).

Change host port in docker-compose.yml:

ports:
  - "8081:80"  # Changed from 8080 to 8081

Add logging driver to your compose:

services:
  tinyfilemanager:
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: "10m"
        max-file: "3"

For advanced setups, use the syslog driver and forward to a log aggregator.

Use TFM as a quick way to edit repository files without cloning. Mount the Git repository volume.
