was this a new fresh installation? Independent on your issue, there is a challenge with Filebrowser v2.24.1 themselves actually.

[MichaIng]

Interesting. The error others currently face is on the same step, but with a different error message

flag accessed but not defined: branding.DisableUsedPercentage

Replicated on all platforms here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/actions/runs/5772908872

Fixed upstream: filebrowser/filebrowser#2596
But a release is still outstanding.

As your error message states that the database file does exist already, while we only run this command when it explicitly does not exist, did you retry that command after you ran into the error with the message above? Quite possible that despite this error, the database file is created, which breaks rerunning the command. This again leads to the question whether we could just ignore the message and continue, or whether some needed mandatory database entries are missing.

[MichaIng]

The latest release has this fixed: https://github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/releases/tag/v2.24.2
Simply reinstall it:

File browser service fail to start

[Joulinar]

Remove it completely and install File browser afterwards again

[MichaIng]

Ah right, init step is otherwise not repeated as the database file has been created already. Minimum step needed before trying the reinstall:

rm /mnt/dietpi_userdata/filebrowser/filebrowser.db
