Sharry

Sharry is a self-hosted web application that provides simple, privacy-conscious file sharing. It offers both send and receive workflows, resumable uploads, and a web client plus a REST API for automation and integration.

Key Features

• Resumable uploads implemented via the tus protocol, enabling reliable large-file uploads and resume after network interruptions.
• Bidirectional workflows: authenticated users can publish download links; anonymous users can upload to user-managed alias pages.
• Multiple storage backends: supports storing files on the filesystem, inside the database, or in S3-compatible object storage.
• Relational database support for metadata and optional file storage: PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and H2 are supported.
• Download-friendly behavior using ETag and HTTP range requests to enable partial downloads and in-browser video seeking.
• REST API exposing core functionality for scripting and integration with other systems.
• Access controls for public shares: configurable lifetime, optional password protection, and download limits.
• Web-based management UI and email notification capabilities when configured.
• Packaging and deployment options including Debian packages, Docker, and Nix/NixOS integrations.

Use Cases

• Team file exchange: share large artifacts, logs, or media with coworkers via short-lived, password-protected links.
• External collection: allow customers or partners to upload files to a named alias page without requiring accounts.
• Automated workflows: integrate Sharry into CI, backup, or content pipelines using the REST API and supported storage backends.

Sharry combines a resilient upload stack with multiple storage and database options to fit varied infrastructure needs. Its focus is on straightforward file exchange, resumability, and integration points for automation and self-hosted deployments.
