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.

    Might I suggest a Synology NAS. They’re a network attached storage, sure, but they have a suite of apps including DS files, DS photos, etc. It also can act as a VPN too. Just a thought

    I suspected that was going to happen eventually. Being closed-source is part of the reason I dropped it.

      • Worked well while I was using it, not a fan of the closed-source nature and just didn’t feel the need to redeploy when I retooled my infrastructure.

    Probably the most direct replacement I can think of is Filebrowser.

    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.

    i read owncloud infinite scale (OCIS) few days ago, i wanted to try it this weekend, and if you’re looking just only file sharing, this might fit for you,

    or nextcloud docker / nextcloud install with redis and tuning, and remove the features you don’t need

      I was thinking about nextcloud or owncloud, but all I actually need is the fileshare function. This seems a little much overhead for just that. If I won’t find anything I will more or less bite that bullet and use nextcloud, but would love to have a standalone solution. Thanks for the input tho – did not know about OCIS yet, will check it out.
