I think Pingvin would be a good start for a self-hosted file-sharing service, however, it lacks one functionality - file deletion. If you set for a link to expire, you should be able to upon link expiration, set it to delete the file after said amount of time. Otherwise, over time you will fill up your drive.
It's cool, but the reverse share shouldn't be configurable by the visitor. If you've requested files, they should just drop them in there and that's it. It's not their server to create shares on. My opinion.
Nextcloud and Pingvin are very different, the only common service is being able to share the files which is what Pingvin does. It doesn’t do anything else, so in that sense it’s a lot more lightweight
Looks nice and simple although very much focused around sharing - think File Browser works better for me, still a link generation option but also can create folder structure, etc and is more designed around accessing your own files. For receiving files it looks quite handy tho.

I have been looking for a simple fileshare for months. I do not know how I missed this. Thank you for making this video!

For sure, still early days for Pingvin though, so we could see this added
Good stuff thanks for sharing. Do you use cloudflare tunnels to expose it externally? If so would that not breach there terms?
This one I used Nginx Proxy Manager :)
@@Techdox makes sense thanks
@@kevinhughes9801 also I think the rules is around streaming right? Not so much file sharing? Good question though
@@Techdox yeah defo on streaming not sure on file sharing but would think be same. Don’t want my account banned so won’t risk it

Is it better than Nextcloud? How about a large collection of files and multiple users? Performance?

Seafile might be something you could look into

Yeah. Can’t really be compared to file servers and more dedicated to just the sharing of files
Kurwa jaki fajny
Fileshare servers run on metal for a reason boo boo. Do not docker compose a fileshare system for any reason in production.
Hey, thanks for your comment, can you explain the key reasons why?
Why not?
@@dorpses I am also curious to hear why haha
@@Techdox No reasons, just another dinosaur not willing to adapt. Bind mounts are absolutely fine.
