Overview

FileGator is a self hosted, multi user web file manager. Through a clean browser interface your team can upload, download, zip, unzip, copy, move, rename and edit files, with per user roles, granular permissions and isolated home directories. It runs as a single node with files kept on the local filesystem and users held in a simple JSON store, so there is no database server to run or maintain.

It suits teams that need a private, branded file portal for sharing and collaboration, hosted in their own cloud account rather than on a third party service.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image installs FileGator on a hardened web stack with a unique administrator password generated on first boot and stored as a bcrypt hash, so the well known default admin password never ships. Anonymous access is disabled and only the public web folder is exposed, keeping application code and private data outside the web root. The deployment guide covers creating users, setting permissions, pointing your domain and enabling HTTPS. 24/7 support is included.

Common uses

  • A private, multi user file portal for uploading, downloading and sharing files
  • A team collaboration space with per user home directories and permissions
  • A self hosted alternative to third party file sharing, in your own cloud account
