Gokapi is a lightweight, self-hosted file-sharing server written in Go, serving as a Firefox Send alternative where only registered users can upload and share expiring download links. It supports automatic file expiration, end-to-end encryption, deduplication, and optional S3-compatible cloud storage.

Use cases

• self-host a Firefox Send alternative for sharing files with expiring links
• share files that auto-delete after a number of downloads or days
• let external parties upload files to me via a private file request URL
• store shared files on AWS S3 or Backblaze B2 instead of local disk
• share files end-to-end encrypted under my own domain
• integrate file sharing with Keycloak or Authelia via OpenID Connect

When to choose

• you want self-hosted, privacy-friendly file sharing with expiring links and no public uploads
• you need lightweight deployment via Docker or a single Go binary
• you want S3/B2 backend support, deduplication, and E2E encryption in one tool

When to avoid

• you need a public file-upload service where anyone can upload without accounts
• you need heavy-duty transfer features like resumable chunked uploads for very large files
• you want a full cloud-drive UI with folders and file management
