Self-hosted file manager: one Go binary, a full web UI, and storage that plugs in — local, S3, SFTP, WebDAV, FTP, SMB. The same tree is also reachable AS S3, SFTP, FTPS, NFS and WebDAV, so rclone, restic, WinSCP or a scanner land where the browser does. Embeddable UI, desktop app, built-in MCP server. MIT.

Quick Install
