BaGet VS Filestash

As others have mentioned, you want NuGet. However, beyond the directory approach that was already mentioned, people may be interested to know that you can also do a web hosted version or if you prefer you can use the full NuGet Gallery project that powers nuget.org. At this point there's like 20 different ways to do it now. Hanselman had a list of some options a while back. BaGet is kind of interesting on that list.

Yeah I know all this, you can even use BaGet[1] symbol server to cache or manage private dependencies in an enterprise network. That is not the point... I think that the most used tool / platform should provide more flexibility for non-enterprise or less expierienced developers.

No offense, I like nuget, but I recently made a typo and checked in 0.0.23 instead of 0.0.2. Now, everytime I add a dependency that is < 0.0.23 to a project, that has not been synchronized / validated yet (the other problem I described), it automatically takes the best match, which is 0.0.23 assuming to be the newest package, even if unlisted.

I also burned a 1.0.0 because of a failing script like that... not really bad, but annoying...

Filestash - web gui with fast search, stream videos in browser, editor built in and have realised recently it has plug-ins too.

FileStash

I haven't really tested how it handles a lot of pictures, but I know Filestash can use S3 (and many others) as backend.

> lately upgraded their gallery, but it is still slow. It generates thumbnails on-the-fly

I've spent a lot more time than I would dare to admit on that exact topic while working on my OSS project (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash) and you really can generate thumbnail on the fly real fast but that's just not gonna happen if you want to use a high level language or use a tool like image magick.

To give you an idea, Filestash has that part built in C that's calling low level lib like libjpeg for jpeg thumbnail generation and use trick like DCT scaling to get the thumbnailing done below 15ms on a typical picture from my camera and the kind of speed you can get doesn't make a rasperry pi break a sweat

Filestash - https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

Most file transfer protocols server implementation relies on the filesystem and have no dependency on heavy DB like mysql, postgres, .... It does work, it's all tradeoff pro and cons depending on the featureset you're trying to aim. I've spend an absurd amount of time digging through every possible protocol I could put my hands on while working on Filestash and after 5 years at this job I am now firmly in the camp of not using a DB for this kind of application when it comes to selfhosting

You can use a filestash front-end. Its very easy to setup and lightweight. It also supports a lot of backends like FTP.

Take a look at Awesome-Selfhosted and its web-based file managers (e.g., File Browser or Filestash)

I've made one such frontend for not only backblaze but also Nextcloud (via webdav), and pretty much any other protocol you could think off. It's all open source: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash

Filestash — A Dropbox-like file manager that connects to a range of protocols and platforms: S3, FTP, SFTP, Minio, Git, WebDAV, Backblaze, LDAP and more.
