## What it is
A self-hosted file, code, and media sharing website written in Go, supporting image/video/audio display, syntax-highlighted pastes, and an upload API. Development on the original repository is frozen, with several active community forks.

## Use cases
- self-host a file sharing site
- host images and videos on my own server
- share code snippets with syntax highlighting
- run a private pastebin
- share files with expiry and deletion keys
- upload files via an API

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to file-sharing services
- you need an API for programmatic uploads with access keys
- you want file expiry, deletion keys, and random filenames
- you prefer Docker deployment behind a reverse proxy

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained upstream software - the original repo is frozen, so consider a fork
- you need cloud-scale storage or CDN features
- you need user accounts and multi-user management

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-upload, http-server, self-hosted
- domain: self-hosted, files, web-development, media
- platform: self-hosted, go
- tags: file-sharing, pastebin, media-hosting, file-expiry, torrent-webseed, syntax-highlighting, linux, docker, web-server
