I’ve been running 0807, a small self-hosted file host.

The idea is simple: drop a file, get a short link, and pick when it disappears.

A few things that might interest people here:

  • No account, no ads, no trackers
  • Auto-delete by time (1 hour up to 30 days, or never) or by a max number of downloads
  • Optional password protection on files and notes
  • Files up to 4 GB
  • Reachable over Tor via an onion service
  • Text notes with the same self-destruct and password options

Some file types are blocked for safety (exe, bat, scripts, etc).

Happy to answer questions about the setup or take feedback. It’s at v1.1 so I’m still iterating.

    Hey, would gladly welcome the project, but I want to point out that this is the /c/selfhosted community - so neat as a public service, but this is the wrong community.

    Once you are ready to post the code / set this up for self-hosting, please feel free to repost.

    Until then, I’ll be locking the post.

    Questions:

    Encryption: Is there any? I see that there is a password option, but does that lock the file or is that just to access the file itself.

    Deletion: I see there are options related to the time the file can exist, but what are my guarantees that the file indeed will be deleted.

    Selfhosting: Is this a venture you are offering to the public, or will there be an option to selfhost?

    Please understand, I’m not trying to shit on your project. However, if there is no encryption, and no real guarantee the file will self destruct, I’d be hard pressed to use your service, unless it has a selfhosted option. It does look like there are some good options. I like the ability to tag a note for the recipients. The tor option is good too. Looks like you’ve put some time in on it. Polish it up, get some encryption options, and release the code on Github or equal so everyone view it and can make up their mind to use or not.

    Thank you for sharing.
