015 is a self-hosted temporary file and text sharing platform designed for one-time and short-lived uploads. It combines a modern Vue/Nuxt frontend with a Go backend and supports chunked uploads, frontend file-hash detection for instant transfer, and background processing for file tasks.

Key Features

  • Chunked, high-performance uploads with frontend hashing and instant-transfer detection to avoid duplicate uploads
  • Concurrent processing using frontend web workers and a backend worker queue for asynchronous tasks
  • Image processing including automatic compression and preview support for images, video, audio, and documents
  • Share management with configurable password protection, download count limits, expiration times, and pickup codes
  • Download access control using JWT-based tokens and Redis for caching share metadata
  • Responsive UI built with Vue 3, Nuxt 3, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS; backend written in Go with an Asynq-based worker system

Use Cases

  • Quickly share large files or snippets as one-time or temporary links with expiration and access limits
  • Public or private file drops with password or pickup-code protection for ad-hoc collaboration
  • Automatic image compression and preview for sending media without manual processing

Limitations and Considerations

  • Default storage uses the local filesystem; cloud object storage adapters are not provided out of the box
  • Resume-upload behavior has partial support; backend-side resumed-part enumeration is listed as a planned improvement

015 is suitable for teams and individuals needing ephemeral, controlled file sharing without a third‑party service. It emphasizes fast uploads, access controls, and simple lifecycle management for temporary content.
