Hello everyone!

As most of you know, File Browser - well... File Manager at the time - was born as a single extension for Caddy web server. Although, it's time to tell goodbye to this lovely extension. There's a lot of backlog and thoughts about deprecating this extension for a long time already (#574).

There are some reasons why I'm taking this decision:

  1. File Browser building process is complicated and supporting Caddy would involve a lot of extra necessary steps due to the nature of File Browser: we need static assets (HTML, JS, CSS, etc.) to work.
  2. If you install them both separately, you can update only one of the binaries. It might seem a disadvantage for some, but I assure you that it can be helpful in some cases.
  3. File Browser can be easily used with Caddy via the built-in proxy directive.
  4. I don't a lot of time to focus on this project to make it better and better, so supporting Caddy would be one more time sink for me (see 🆘 Need Maintainers #532).

I know not everyone will support this decision, but it's been on my head for a long time and this will simplify a lot of things in File Browser development side.

It's a goodbye to Caddy, for now. 👋

@hacdias this is a very nice explanation, to bad its a little difficult to keep up. I was looking for an alternative for h5ai and filebrowser seems to fit. Thanks for all the effort you put in!
