## What it is
Erugo is a self-hosted file-sharing platform built with PHP/Laravel and Vue.js, offering secure file transfers with features like password protection, expiration dates, download limits, and customizable branding. It is deployed via Docker and keeps all files on your own infrastructure.

## Use cases
- self-hosted wetransfer alternative
- share large files from my own server
- send files with password protection and expiration
- let clients upload files to me with a reverse share link
- host a branded file-sharing portal for my business
- replace cloud file-sharing services for privacy

## When to choose
- you want full control and privacy over shared files on your own infrastructure
- you need an easy-to-use, elegant file-sharing UI for non-technical recipients
- you want features like expiring shares, download limits, and reverse shares without vendor lock-in
- you can run Docker on a server, VPS, or Raspberry Pi

## When to avoid
- you need peer-to-peer or decentralized file transfer
- you want a managed cloud service with no server maintenance
