Gokapi is a modern, self-hosted alternative to Firefox Send that puts you in control of your file sharing. Built with Go, it combines simplicity with powerful features like automatic file expiration, end-to-end encryption, and flexible cloud storage support.

• Bare Metal (Linux/macOS/Windows)
• Docker: View on Docker Hub

• Expiring file shares: Automatically removed after a set number of downloads or days
• User management with roles: Fine-grained permission control, only registered users can upload
• File requests: A shareable URL lets external parties upload files, visible only to the URL’s creator
• File deduplication: Identical files use no extra space
• Cloud storage support: AWS S3 (or S3 compatible like Backblaze B2), optional
• Built-in encryption: Including end-to-end encrypted uploads
• OpenID Connect support: Integrate with identity providers like Authelia or Keycloak
• REST API: For automation and integration into other systems
• Customizable UI: Adjust look and feel with custom CSS and JavaScript

You can deploy Gokapi in seconds using Docker or directly on your system.
