Install Ultra Explorer on Your Phone

Serve the Docker version over HTTPS, then add it to your home screen and control your storages from your phone.

Step-by-step walkthrough:

  1. Start the Docker server

    Copy .env.example to .env, replace ULTRA_ADMIN_PASSWORD with a unique password, then run "docker compose up --build -d". The interface answers on http://localhost:7373.

  2. Publish it behind HTTPS

    Put a trusted HTTPS reverse proxy in front of port 7373 and set ULTRA_SECURE_COOKIES=true. Installation requires HTTPS, even on your home network.

    Tip :Never expose port 7373 itself to the internet.

  3. Open it on your phone and sign in

    Open the HTTPS address in Safari or Chrome and sign in with the administrator password.

  4. Add it to your home screen

    On iPhone, tap Share then Add to Home Screen, and keep Open as Web App on. On Android and other browsers, use the Install application button in Settings when it appears.

  5. Browse, select and transfer

    Launch the app from its icon. Browse two storages in stacked panes, tap Select to choose files, then use the Actions bar to copy, move or transfer them to the other pane.

    Select mode with three files chosen.
