  1. filemanager

    📂 Web File Browser

    Project mention: FileBrowser Alternatives for Mobile: A Self-Hoster's Comparison Guide | dev.to | 2026-03-28

  3. transfer.sh

    Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line.

    Project mention: Stop Pulling Unsafe Docker Images | dev.to | 2026-04-29

    We needed a small tool to move files from A to B without exposing them to the public internet. A self-hosted, secure replacement for WeTransfer. Our AI advisor suggested dutchcoders/transfer.sh. It is a popular self-hosted file-sharing tool in the Go ecosystem and seemed like the perfect fit. It offered simple uploads and downloads without a UI or complex authentication schemes. A minimal feature set usually means a minimal attack surface. It was exactly the shape of tool we were after.

  4. Filestash

    :file_folder: File Management Platform / Universal Data Access Layer (without FUSE)

    Project mention: Show HN: Write your BPF programs in Go, not C | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-21

    I did work on a plugin system for Filestash [1] leveraging wasm. Plugins made with tinygo were 10x slower than the same code in rust compiled to wasm

    JuiceFS is a distributed POSIX file system built on top of Redis and S3.

    Perkeep (née Camlistore) is your personal storage system for life: a way of storing, syncing, sharing, modelling and backing up content.

    Project mention: Understanding Singleflight in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-18

    I wrote that library originally for dl.google.com: https://go.dev/talks/2013/oscon-dl.slide#1

    I then open sourced it in Jan 2013 in what was then named Camlistore (now Perkeep) in https://github.com/perkeep/perkeep/commit/6f9f0bdda9c9c1f147...
