Media & Files
Upload and organize images, video, PDFs, and fonts through the File Manager — and keep them tidy in a predictable folder structure.
What it does
File Manager is a dual-pane file browser with role-based access. Admins see the whole site filesystem; staff are scoped to /media by default.
Operations
- Upload — drag-and-drop or click, into the current folder.
- New Folder, Rename, Move, Download.
- Delete — permanent (there’s no recycle bin).
Where media lives
media/
images/ JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP
videos/ MP4, WebM
pdfs/ PDF documents
backgrounds/ background images & video
store/ product images
notebooklm/ AI podcast audio
Each folder can hold subfolders. Thumbnail caches live in .cache/ subfolders.
Uploading
You can add media from several places: File Manager (anywhere), the Media Browser while building galleries, and Background Manager for backgrounds. Anything uploaded through the admin is owned correctly automatically.
Fonts
The Font Manager uploads custom web fonts (WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF) and registers them by name; pick them for headers, body, and menus in Site Settings. Fonts are served locally — no external CDN calls that track visitors.
Supported types
- Images: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG
- Video: MP4, WebM, OGV
- Audio: MP3, WAV, OGG · Docs: PDF · Fonts: WOFF, WOFF2, TTF, OTF
Tips
Files added over the command line (as root) need their ownership set to www-data; admin-panel uploads are handled for you.
