  • sist2

    Lightning-fast file system indexer and search tool

  • Having a tool that can scan and index a shared folder would be amazing, and it being accessible from a web browser would also be great, because then I could search from any one of my several devices. The closest thing I have found was sist2. The demo seems to be what I need, but I couldn't seem to get it to run with docker. There's a direct install method, but I haven't tried that yet.

  • nginx-file-browser

    a simple file browser for nginx autoindex module

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.

  • awesome-selfhosted

    A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers

  • The awesome selfhosted list has a category for Archiving and Digital Preservation. There I saw Archivematica which supposedly allows ingesting a lot of different file formats and has included search.

  • filehunter

    Simple, fast, open source file search engine

  • Regarding file searching using web interface I started https://github.com/Ogefest/filehunter and I have plans to create web search engine for local/webdav/s3/ftp files.

  • tika-docker

    Convenience Docker images for Apache Tika Server

  • I installed FileRun recently and that might get you close. It's fast and the search is pretty good as it can integrate Apache Tika, I like the OnlyOffice integration as well. It's closed-source, which isn't great for me, but you get 3 accounts without having to pay.

  • 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.
