Erugo is a self-hosted, open-source file-sharing platform that provides a simple web interface for sending and managing files. It combines a Laravel-based backend with a Vue.js frontend and is designed for easy Docker deployment and minimal system requirements.

Key Features

  • Multiple-file and folder uploads with progress tracking and large-file resume support
  • Human-friendly, memorable share URLs (readable slugs instead of opaque tokens)
  • Password protection, expiration dates, and configurable download limits per share
  • Built-in dashboard to track downloads, manage shares, revoke access, and view activity
  • Customizable branding and theme support for logos, colors, and appearance
  • Docker-first deployment with example docker-compose configuration and an included lightweight default database option

(erugo.app)

Use Cases

  • Securely transfer design assets, large media files, or project bundles between teams without third-party services
  • Temporary file drops for clients or collaborators with password and expiration controls
  • Self-hosted alternative to consumer file-transfer sites where data sovereignty and auditability are required

Limitations and Considerations

  • The public demo instance has uploads disabled (demo only shows recipient/download view); full functionality requires running your own instance
  • Administrators are responsible for configuring storage limits, moderation, security, and compliance for their deployment

Erugo is intended for organisations and individuals who prefer self-hosted file sharing with control over data and customization. It is open-source (MIT) and designed to run on modest resources while scaling up for larger deployments.
