Hello everyone. I installed a 10Gb Minio server so that I can
sometimes exchange some data with my friends. I was looking for a
simple webUI and found Filestach, which I immediately installed on
Docker. But now I'm completely confused and the documentation doesn't
help me. I simply can't find a way to enter my Minio IP in the backend
which is also very minimalistic at the moment. I probably need a few
plugins but I don't know how to install them. Is it so complicated
because of the free version and is there a beginner's tutorial
somewhere that breaks down the individual steps better.Thank you

Thanks, but the support doesn't really help because it's only for
paying customers. From the documentation I can't figure out how to
change the link to my Minio server and install plugins. There isn't a
bug either.

I am aware. Then maybe you should become a paying customer if you need
support?

I linked you their [Github issues](https://github.com/mickael-
kerjean/filestash/issues) page so you could consider making a post
there, and maybe someone from that community will assist you.

Honestly, no offense to the creators of that project, but yes the
documentation is terrible and as it currently is the app itself barely
works at all. The only thing i can tell is that the UI and doc looks
nice, based on the screenshots. But thats not enough obviously.

About the state of that project, you might want to read this
announcement too: https://github.com/mickael-
kerjean/filestash/issues/629

Consider using other tools like Filebrowser or SFTPGo etc, they work
great and have "free support" if you need it.

Perfect, thanks for the advice, I also think I need alternatives.
