Overview

Pupcloud is a minimalist web application that exposes local directories for browsing and file management directly in a browser. It requires no database, configuration files, or persistent storage, packaged as a single executable (built with Go, Svelte, and TypeScript).

Key Features

• Web Interface: Responsive design supporting mobile use.
• No Persistence: No databases or dotfiles are created.
• Authentication: Supports password protection via SHA-256 hashing.
• Read-Only Mode: Optional restriction to prevent filesystem writes.
• File Previews: Supports images, audio, video, PDFs, and text files (browser-dependent).
• Folder Sharing: Revokable shares with optional passwords/expiry.
• Custom Branding: Configurable window title.

Target Audience

Users needing a lightweight, portable file browser for local directories with optional sharing capabilities. Ideal for quick access without setup overhead.

Framework Support

• Svelte: Used for the web UI.

Notable Limitations

• Security: Requires HTTPS (via reverse proxy) for public internet use.
• Maturity: Not yet extensively audited; caution advised for sensitive deployments.
