Can't play the video?

Check if the encoding is not supported. Generally, browsers do not support encoded video such as h.265 (hevc), and encoded audio such as ac3. Safari does not support more. It is recommended to use software to play.

Where are the front-end files?

To facilitate the installation, the front-end file and the program are packaged together. If you need to modify it, please modify and compile by yourself according to run from the source code or fill in the custom style/script field.

What should I do if I forgot my password?

Command line ./alist-xxxx -password to view.(Where xxxx refers to the names corresponding to different systems/architectures, generally Linux-x86/64 is alist-linux-amd64, if you use script installation, the name is directly alist)

Corresponding to the installation method:

  • Script installation: the initial password will be output during installation, get it again: cd /opt/alist && ./alist -password
  • binary manual installation: execute in the directory where the program is located: ./alist -password (where alist refers to the binary file name)
  • Docker: use the command docker exec -it alist ./alist -password to view the password
  • PaaS: How to find and view the password in the corresponding warehouse

Custom styles/scripts don’t take effect?

Are the front and rear ends separated? The custom part is the back-end processing and only works when it is not separated.

The uploaded file is not displayed/the deleted file is still there/does the modification of the root directory take effect?

Add account prompt: UNIQUE constraint failed: x_accounts.name

Virtual paths are unique and cannot be repeated.

Upload background processing?

The upload process of this program is: client->server->corresponding storage. If your server upload bandwidth is small, it will take a long time. If you use nginx to reverse the generation, there may be a timeout, but in fact, the background is still in upload. Therefore, the web upload function is generally only recommended when the server bandwidth is large enough or it is used locally.

Why not use web-side direct transmission? Because it is compatible with the webdav protocol, webdav can only be transferred by the server, and some network disks have various restrictions when uploading, which cannot be processed only in the front end. So it is unified to upload from the backend.
