dufs - Easily Set Up Your Personal File Server

What is dufs?

Imagine you've just recorded an important video and want to share it with a colleague. Or perhaps you have a bunch of work documents that need syncing across multiple devices. Maybe you want to set up a simple static website to showcase your portfolio.

In these situations, you might think of using cloud storage, but speed limits and storage caps can be frustrating. Using a USB drive? Constantly copying files back and forth is too cumbersome.

dufs was born to solve these pain points. It's an open-source web file server that you can run directly out of the box. It supports file uploads and downloads, search, access control, WebDAV, and more.

Quick Start

After installing the application, open your browser to find a clean file management interface.

You can directly drag and drop files to upload—it's very fast.

Click on a PDF file to view it directly.

Supports image file browsing; you can directly share the URL.

Click the download icon next to a file to download it individually.

The download icon in the top-left corner downloads all files, compressing them into a ZIP package.

For files, you can download, move, delete, and edit them.

Uploaded files can be found in the application data directory: /data.

Although dufs is simple to use, pay attention to security when dealing with network access:

Do not expose it directly to the public internet - Unless you specifically need to, only use it within your local network.

Summary

dufs is precisely such a simple yet powerful tool.

Whether you want to share files within a team, set up a simple static website, or just transfer files between devices, dufs is up to the task.
