  • Zipline

    A ShareX/file upload server that is easy to use, packed with features, and with an easy setup! (by diced)

  • I use zipline. It's fast and easy to use. I have it set up in docker.

  • XBackBone

    A lightweight file manager with full ShareX support and more

  • I find XBackBone to work pretty well. It also integrates nicely with ShareX or Screencloud, making uploading from your desktop even easier.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • bepasty

    universal pastebin server

  • I love bepasty for such uploads (not just images, though it does come with some features specific to images). It doesn't have a user account concept though, it just uses passwords to prevent anonymous users from uploading. Runs fine in Docker and is very light on resources (idling at around 70 MB RAM, 0% CPU for me after running for several weeks now): https://github.com/bepasty/bepasty-server

  • Gokapi

    Lightweight selfhosted Firefox Send alternative without public upload. AWS S3 supported.

  • I maintain the Gokapi project, which does everything you mentioned above. For viewing in the webbrowser instead of regular downloads, you will need to use the hotlink URL instead of the regular one.

  • Chevereto Free

    Discontinued Community/Personal Image Hosting

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
