Hi there,
Filerun will stop exisiting as a free version and since I use it like once a month for some small files I was wondering what similar selfhostable and free alternatives are out there that you know.
I keep not getting around to trying it, but KaraDAV looks great. Lightweight WebDAV server which supports Next/OwnCloud clients for syncing.
If you’re looking for just filesharing capabilities, OwnCloud might be a good alternative. It’s recently been rewritten in Go and its supposedly quite fast. I must say that I haven’t used it myself.
Another alternative could be Nextcloud, but that comes with a whole suite of other software such as calendar, contacts, …
I’ve also heard some good things about seafile, but never used it myself either.
You can disable the majority of the extra apps on Nextcloud to strip it down. It runs fine on lower end devices once tuned properly.
After a while I found https://github.com/stonith404/pingvin-share/tree/main which does all I need. So if you are still in search of a filerun alternative give Pingvin-share a try.
