Self-hosted web file manager
Filetree is a minimalistic, self-hosted file manager — browse, upload, preview, and manage files from your browser. No cloud lock-in, no database. Simple YAML or JSON config, single binary deployment. It started as a simple homelab project — a way to browse and manage files on home server without exposing it to the cloud or dealing with heavy, database-backed alternatives.
Browse & manage
List, create folders, rename, move, copy, delete (with trash). Drag-and-drop uploads.
Rich previews
Images, video, audio, PDF, Markdown, JSON, CSV, HTML, text — preview in the browser.
Secure auth
Google OAuth, GitHub OAuth, or local username/password. JWT-based sessions.
Signed URLs
Short-lived signed URLs for previews and downloads. Time-limited access, no long-lived links.
Simple admin
No database. YAML or JSON config file. Simple admin UI to manage auth providers and settings.
Built for simplicity. Minimalistic to configure. Rich in features.
Social login
Sign in with Google OAuth, GitHub OAuth, or use local username and password. JWT-based sessions keep you authenticated securely across requests.
