Show HN: I created a minimalist file-browser web application

3 pointsby zer0toninalmost 2 years ago
As I got tired of fighting with Jellyfin and SFTP for my media server, I decided to write a small web application that allows me to browse, manage, download and stream the files on my web server. It comes as a single-page application with a Preact frontend and a Go&#x2F;Gin backend.<p>Creating this allowed me to get back into full-stack development, which was a bit tougher than expected after having taken a multi-year break from touching any frontend code.<p>You&#x27;ll find the source code, binary releases and installation instructions on GitHub: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;Mikochi">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;Mikochi</a><p>The official Docker image: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.docker.com&#x2F;repository&#x2F;docker&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;mikochi&#x2F;general" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hub.docker.com&#x2F;repository&#x2F;docker&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;mikochi&#x2F;g...</a><p>And the helm chart: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;artifacthub.io&#x2F;packages&#x2F;helm&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;mikochi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;artifacthub.io&#x2F;packages&#x2F;helm&#x2F;zer0tonin&#x2F;mikochi</a><p>I also did a write-up about the project on my blog: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alicegg.tech&#x2F;2023&#x2F;06&#x2F;09&#x2F;mikochi.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;alicegg.tech&#x2F;2023&#x2F;06&#x2F;09&#x2F;mikochi.html</a>

Hey, this looks neat. I usually just use SCP to upload, and then a basic http server to download files but this looks slicker. I&#x27;ll give it a go.<p>This is weird to mention, but we have &quot;developing niche file managers&quot; in common. I just finished the first preview release of Aerome (aerome.net), it&#x27;s going to grow into a cross platform file manager that uses AI to help manage your files. So nothing like your thing, but kinda like your thing.<p>Anyways, nice work on the file manager, I&#x27;m looking forward to trying it out.
