Hello! How are folks self-hosting online storage, similar to Google Drive?
Some options I’ve found:
- https://filebrowser.org/ (maintenance-only mode)
- https://www.seafile.com/en/home/ (weird disk layout scares me)
- https://tinyfilemanager.github.io/ (i like simple!)
- https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash
A bunch more: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#file-transfer---web-based-file-managers
I mainly just need basic file management features. I don’t plan to share files outside of my tailscale VPN. I do need to support multiple users though.
I’m not considering Nextcloud because that seems too big. I’m also not considering syncthing for this project because I don’t want copies on multiple devices.
I’m currently just using ssh+nautilus and that’s worked great for just me, but something similar to Google Drive would be easier to onboard my family.
No issues so far, got sources?
Anyway, always follow 3-2-1 for backups.
Nah it was a while back. IIRC there were multiple sources, but I don’t remember any of them 🙃
Though, I don’t really remember the details either. Maybe it was OS specific? I know there was a dodgy FUSE implementation out there for macOS at some point, and Cryptomator depends mounts its local drive with FUSE. I use macOS and NixOS, so it coulda been that.
