[ferronrsmith]

It would be nice to be able to extract archives

That's a good idea! 😄

I am very interested in this feature. Any idea about a possible release ?

[hacdias]

I'd like to implement this, but I've been a bit busy. Would you like to try to start this @MarvBob @ferronrsmith? 😄

any update of this issue ?

[DeyV]

I did this, but I'm not sure, that it is best method to do that.

https://github.com/DeyV/filebrowser-dockercompose

1. added p7zip to docker
2. simple bash to unpack archives in directory and remove them
3. this bash as additional command "commands": ["unpack"]

@DeyV, installing additional dependencies in the host (be it the 'real' host or the docker image/container) is an option, which can be used right now as in your example. However, I think that this issue is focused on integrating this feature in the code base, so that filebrowser can be still used as a standalone single binary app. E.g., https://github.com/mholt/archiver can be used to provide such functionality.

I'm closing this since this repository will be archived. Please read the information on the README for more information. Thanks for all your contributions!
