SaveHere is a minimal cloud file manager that allows you to download files from the internet and store them on your own server, either locally or on a VPS. It uses Docker, React for frontend, ASP.NET Core for backend, Nginx for serving downloaded files and a few Docker images for other functionalities.
The app was built to address the issue of downloading large files from slow servers or unstable connections. With SaveHere, you can enter the URL of the file you want to download, and the app will download it to your server. You can then download the file from your own server using your own domain name and URL, with the ability to pause and resume the download as needed.
SaveHere keeps a list of all download requests and downloaded files, allowing you to easily manage your files. You can delete files from the server at any time. The app currently does not support uploading files from your local machine, but that feature is planned for a future release.
SaveHere is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, with a focus on simplicity and functionality. Whether you're downloading files for personal or professional use, SaveHere can help you do it more efficiently and reliably.
To run SaveHere, you will need to have the following dependencies installed:
- Docker: SaveHere is containerized using Docker, so you will need to have Docker installed on your machine.
- Docker Compose: SaveHere uses Docker Compose to manage its containers, so you will need to have Docker Compose installed as well.
- (Optional) Visual Studio 2022 and vscode for development.
In addition, it is recommended that you run SaveHere behind a reverse proxy such as Nginx or Nginx Proxy Manager. This will allow you to access the app using your own domain name and SSL certificate, and provide additional security and performance benefits.
There's a demo instance of this app running here, but I just need to fix some issues before opening it to the public!
To run SaveHere, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository from GitHub and navigate into the directory:
git clone https://github.com/gudarzi/SaveHere.git
cd SaveHere- Run the containers using Docker Compose in detached mode:
docker compose -f docker-compose.production.yml up -d-
The app is now available at the address
http://172.17.0.1:18480. Change the address if you need to. The user:pass to the filebrowser app isadmin:admin. -
(Optional) If you encounter permission issues with the downloads folder, change the owner of the folder and all of its content to
1000:1000and set the permissions to777:
sudo chown -R 1000:1000 downloads/
sudo chmod -R 777 downloads/- Fix the packaging of the app and create 1 single docker image
- Add an option for using filenames that the target server sends (instead of using the url)
- Show more data and info about the file before downloading it
- Add reporting download status to the user (useful for big files)
- Add user accounts and set their access policies
- Check issues for more!
