ShotShare

ShotShare is a lightweight open-source image posting and sharing application designed for quick screenshot uploads and simple link sharing. It provides a minimal interface focused on fast uploads, direct links, and easy self-hosting.

Key Features

• Simple image upload and sharing with direct, Markdown, BBCode and HTML link formats
• ShareX and other uploader integrations via API keys and example configuration
• Configurable storage and database backends (sqlite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server supported)
• Docker and Docker Compose friendly with a one-container deployment option and example commands
• Optional Caddy-based automatic HTTPS support for certificate management
• Feature flags for reactions, UUID routes, footer, and other runtime behaviors
• Artisan CLI commands for maintenance (clean images, create user) and other admin tasks

Use Cases

• Fast screenshot hosting for teams or friends who need shareable image links
• Personal image dumping service for temporary or ephemeral uploads
• Backend for automated screenshot workflows using ShareX or other uploaders

Limitations and Considerations

• Intentionally bare-bones: lacks advanced gallery, CDN integration, or extensive media management features
• Default PHP upload limits are small by default (example PHP_UPLOAD_MAX_FILESIZE is 2M) and must be adjusted for larger files
• Storage is typically local by default; scaling or remote object storage may require additional configuration

ShotShare is focused on simplicity and ease of self-hosting, making it a practical choice for users who need a lightweight image sharing service without ads or extraneous features. It is configurable and extensible through environment variables and standard Laravel tooling.
