To give Docker administrators and home lab operators a fast, modern workspace for server-side storage, NextExplorer delivers a browser-based file manager with instant ripgrep search, inline editing, and multi-volume navigation. Any directory mounted under your container volume root appears immediately in the sidebar with capacity usage indicators, favorite pins, and switchable grid, list, and column browsing layouts. You can preview images, stream videos and audio with FFmpeg-generated thumbnails, read PDFs, edit source code and configuration files in the syntax-highlighted editor, or collaborate on office documents through an integrated ONLYOFFICE Document Server. Deep content search powered by ripgrep scans filenames and file contents across terabytes of storage in seconds, while bundled 7-Zip support inspects and extracts password-protected ZIP, 7z, RAR, TAR, and ISO archives with built-in zip-bomb protection. Teams can share folders via read-only or read-write links, isolate personal user directories, enforce path-level read-only or hidden access rules, and authenticate through local accounts or OpenID Connect identity providers such as Authentik and Authelia. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.
