    A minimalist, easy-to-host service for sharing images and other files

  • You can deploy PicoShare to any platform that supports Docker containers. I host two instances on fly.io, which has a free tier where you can serve up to 3 GB for free. It takes about five minutes to deploy to fly.io.

  • flyctl

    Command line tools for fly.io services

  • You can deploy PicoShare to any platform that supports Docker containers. I host two instances on fly.io, which has a free tier where you can serve up to 3 GB for free. It takes about five minutes to deploy to fly.io.

  • 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.

  • Gossa

    🎶 a fast and simple multimedia fileserver

  • In the past I've used an application called Gossa, a filebrowser made in Go. It didn't have an authentication/login screen and he explained it like this:

  • logpaste

    A simple web service for storing text log files

  • Currently, no. I've implemented that functionality recently in my other tool, LogPaste, so it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce here.

  • pomf

    Pomf is a simple lightweight file host with support for drop, paste, click and API uploading.

  • What is: https://github.com/pomf/pomf

  • Uguu

    Uguu is a simple lightweight temporary file host with support for drop, paste, click and API uploading.

  • Looking at Pomf (which now seems to be Uguu), it seems to be anonymous uploads + anonymous downloads. PicoShare is private uploads + anonymous downloads, so the instance admin can upload and share files, but nobody else can upload files or view the file index.
