Filestash - Web client for SFTP, S3, FTP, WebDAV, Git, Minio, LDAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, Mysql, Backblaze

Filetash (formerly Nuage) seems to be a very interesting and lightweight alternative to e.g. Nextcloud. Currently we are looking for a frontend appropriate to use with Minio as a storage backend. Filetash seems to offer a docker image.

Btw. Pydio looks like another strong contender for that purpose.

Wow, this is pretty powerful! I can imagine a usecase where non-tech people use it for filesharing while tech people may use the Gitea backend.

There's even LDAP auth!

any updates on filestash? seems like it would be a great light weight alternative to nextcloud.

[jdaviescoates]

this looks super useful!

@lucidfox I think it's only a file browser, it doesn't sync etc.

[lucidfox]

@girish I was thinking potentially to use syncthing with volumes, and then use filestash for web access, sharing etc.

Nextcloud is great, but its a bit of a slow giant that's resource intensive. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn't do the core function of syncing files very efficiently.

Looks relatively easy to package from their Dockerfile

After trying to use NextCloud (To slow and too much) and xBackbone (s3 is broken) This seems to be perfect for us - simple s3 front-end. I am going to try the docker, but this would be awesome for Cloudron

@stevespaw You might like https://pydio.com/en/download as well though that's not entirely open source

Just wanted to give this topic a little bump since it could fill a gap between Nextcloud and Cubby, just as well as SFTPGO would do.

I've put up a Github for a Filestash Cloudron app incase you guys wanna check it out:
https://github.com/stalecontext/filestash-cloudron-app

EDIT: Reposted here until I sort out issues with GitHub
https://git.cathedral.gg/Ben/filestash-cloudron-app

Let me know if there are any quirks. I didn't get mine fully set up yet

I took a quick look.
An installation test revealed one problem.
The start.sh file in the repo does not have the execute permission bit set leading to the following error when installing the app:

App installation error: Installation failed: (HTTP code 400) unexpected - failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container init: exec: "/app/pkg/start.sh": permission denied

I have created a PR that you can merge to fix this issue:

Thanks for testing this out and putting up a PR.
