gtsteffaniak/filebrowserv0.6.8-betaApr 12, 2025by gtsteffaniak

AI Summary

This is a significant configuration restructuring release that adds environment variable support for secrets and implements config validation, but requires users to update their existing config files. The release moves recaptcha and signup settings to auth.methods.password and adds validation that fails on unknown fields.

Key Highlights

Config validation added - fails on unknown fields and validates certain values
Environment variables now supported for certain secrets
recaptcha and signup configs moved to auth.methods.password
Bug fix: scope reset on restart
Bug fix: clicking empty space to deselect items

Breaking Changes

Existing config files require adjustments - service will fail to start with helpful error messages
recaptcha and signup configs moved from root level to auth.methods.password
Config validation now rejects unknown fields (helps catch typos but may break existing configs)

New Features

Environment variable support for secrets
Config validation with unknown field detection
Config validation with value validation on certain fields
Docker image now pushed to ghcr.io/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser

## What's Changed

> [!WARNING]
> Hey everyone -- most of your existing configs will not work without adjustments for this release! Keep an eye on your service as you try to start it, it will tell you what needs updating. This one-time pain should make things much more helpful in the future. Thanks for understanding -- I didn't want to group this change in with v0.7.0 (which will get released in approx 2 weeks) since it includes many new features, I wanted to get configs cleaned up beforehand.
