I have been looking for a simple fileshare for months. I do not know how I missed this. Thank you for making this video!

I think Pingvin would be a good start for a self-hosted file-sharing service, however, it lacks one functionality - file deletion. If you set for a link to expire, you should be able to upon link expiration, set it to delete the file after said amount of time. Otherwise, over time you will fill up your drive.

For sure, still early days for Pingvin though, so we could see this added

Looks nice and simple although very much focused around sharing - think File Browser works better for me, still a link generation option but also can create folder structure, etc and is more designed around accessing your own files. For receiving files it looks quite handy tho.

Yeah. Can’t really be compared to file servers and more dedicated to just the sharing of files

Good stuff thanks for sharing. Do you use cloudflare tunnels to expose it externally? If so would that not breach there terms?

Is it better than Nextcloud? How about a large collection of files and multiple users? Performance?

Nextcloud and Pingvin are very different, the only common service is being able to share the files which is what Pingvin does. It doesn’t do anything else, so in that sense it’s a lot more lightweight

Seafile might be something you could look into

Fileshare servers run on metal for a reason boo boo. Do not docker compose a fileshare system for any reason in production.
