Show HN: My Self-Hosted Open Source WeTransfer Alternative Erugo

Erugo is a totally free, powerful, self-hosted file-sharing platform that puts you in control of your files and data. I've been working on this project since January this year and i've just released 0.1.1 Features: - Really easy file upload interface with drag and drop support, single file select and folder select. - Maintains folder structure when you upload nested folders. (As far as I can figure out its the only open source tool that does this) - Optionally password protect shares. - Allow users to create "reverse share" requests. - Set expiry times when creating shares. - Add recipients to shares and Erugo will send them an email with a link to the share after upload. - Direct or chunked upload modes available to adapt to network conditions. - External auth provide support (Google, Microsoft, Authentik, OIDC) Customisation: - Change U

I colours with either the built in themes or create your own. - Add your own logo and background. - Add multiple backgrounds and let them display as a slideshow - change the time between slides easily. - Remove "Powered by Erugo" easily, enabling a fully white-labeled interface. - Control maximum share size, maximum expiry time, allowed upload modes, and more. I'm working hard to add features and improve the product. I'd love to read what the HN community thinks to my Project :)

Show HN: Erugo – A privacy-focused, single-binary WeTransfer alternative

I wanted to share a tool I've been working on called erugo - it's a privacy-respecting file sharing solution that you can host yourself. *Why I built it:* I wanted to learn Go by building something practical that I'd actually use. I needed a simple way to share large files with clients and family, but didn't want to rely on services that track usage or collect data. Most importantly, I wanted something that would just work without complex setup or dependencies. *Key Features:* - Single binary deployment (backend + frontend bundled together) - No tracking, no metrics collection, completely private - Local authentication for share creation - Human-readable share URLs - SQLite for simplicity (no external database needed) - Clean, modern UI - Configurable storage paths and file size limits - MIT licensed and completely open source *Tech Stack
Read the rest
:* Built with Go backend and Vue.js frontend, packaged into a single binary. Uses SQLite for metadata storage and local filesystem for files. *Getting Started:* 1. Download the binary 2. Run it 3. Follow the interactive first-run setup 4. Start sharing files! The project is fully open source and available at: https://github.com/DeanWard/erugo I'm actively developing erugo and would love to hear your feedback and feature requests. Currently working on adding Docker support and white-labeling options via the UI. Let me know if you have any questions! As this is my first Go project, I'm particularly interested in feedback from experienced Go developers as I expect there are many ways to improve the code.
