h5ai VS Filestash

Syncthing actually doesn't provide a way to view your files online, you have to set up an instance on your local computer then have the files synced to there and then view them locally. However, on the forums I have found links to something that people seem to recommend for viewing files online, a sort of enhanced web index: https://github.com/lrsjng/h5ai.

Seems to be not maintained since 3 years

https://github.com/lrsjng/h5ai

sounds more like webserver and some kind of autoindexer like https://larsjung.de/h5ai/ ? https://larsjung.de/h5ai/demo/

If it weren't for UPLOADS, i would suggest this: https://larsjung.de/h5ai/

Something like this or this should do the trick

This https://larsjung.de/h5ai/ comes to mind, but it does not have an easy way to upload stuff I believe.

I currently share a seedbox with 3 friends, where we have Plex, Deluge and a simple h5ai Apache file index. What I want now is to make a NAS with Deluge, Jackett, Plex and something like Nextcloud or similar. I tried TrueNAS SCALE on a test machine and is great for what I want, that is to say having a Debian-based machine with Docker containers.

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.

I made https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash out of the need to collaborate on org mode documents with non emacs users. Once the first release was done, I got to reflect on the infamous top comment of the Dropbox HN to make an attempt at abstracting the storage aspect of Dropbox so those org document could be made stored on a FTP server, SFTP, S3, ....

> we need an abstraction for just this. "Bring your own storage"

I made exactly this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash and there's an API from which you can abstract any kind of storage: S3, SFTP, FTP, GIT, WebDav, Samba, Local FS, NFS, Backblaze, Storj, Artifactory, .... There's even some funky ones like Mysql from which you have an abstraction where first level folders are databases, second level folders are tables and files are the actual rows

Yes, I rewrote my react app onto vanilla JS using nothing else than rxjs, didn't have the time to document it all yet but it looks like this: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/blob/master/pub...

I'm not familiar with Cloudreve, but FileStash is a similar application often recommended on this subreddit.

I do use them on my OSS work (https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/tree/master/pub...) which is used by many thousands of people

This is what I wish Dropbox was, a simple layer that make interacting with your FTP server easy so nobody has to own your data. The end game is both to be feature complete with Dropbox and be able to change every aspect of the application through plugin so everyone can get out what they want from it.

> but I don't think its the companies responsibility to give back to open source just because they use it

As someone who does quite a bit of OSS, the reality is most people are asking for things but aren't willing to pay for it. Take Microsoft, I had one of their employee asking me to support their azure stuff: https://github.com/mickael-kerjean/filestash/issues/180. When I found out the dude was actually employed by Microsoft, he started to talk some nonsense and ended up running away.
