Pingvin Share

Pingvin Share is self-hosted file sharing platform and an alternative for WeTransfer.

🎪 Showcase

Demo: https://pingvin-share.dev.eliasschneider.com

✨ Features

  • Create a simple share with a link
  • No file size limit, only your disk will be your limit
  • Optionally secure your share with a visitor limit and a password
  • Dark mode

⌨️ Setup

Pleas note that Pingvin Share is in early stage and could include some bugs

  1. Download the docker-compose.yml and .env.example file.
  2. Rename the .env.example file to .env and change the environment variables so that they fit to your environment. If you need help with the environment variables take a look here
  3. Run docker-compose up -d

The website is now listening available on http://localhost:3000, have fun with Pingvin Share 🐧!

Environment variables

Variable Description Possible values
APP_URL On which URL Pingvin Share is available. E.g http://localhost or https://pingvin-share.com. URL

Upgrade to a new version

Just updated the docker container by running docker-compose pull && docker-compose up -d
