FileRise: Private Cloud Drive Alternative (Docker + Portainer Install)
Tired of depending on big cloud just to manage your own files? In this video, we explore FileRise, a modern self-hosted file manager that brings cloud-drive functionality back under your control — no subscription, no sketchy TOS, just clean file uploads and full privacy.
I’ll walk you through setting up FileRise with Docker, Portainer, and optionally Nginx Proxy Manager for secure, remote access. We’ll cover features like chunked drag-and-drop uploads, folder sharing with expiring links, WebDAV support, inline file previews, powerful user permissions, and a slick dark mode interface. Whether you're hosting personal documents, team files, or just want your own private Google Drive alternative — FileRise makes it stupidly easy and surprisingly powerful.
