Erugo

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

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.
