Erugo: Self hosted alternative to WeTransfer

Every major file sharing service comes with strings attached. Your files sit on someone else's servers, subject to their terms, their scanning, their potential data breaches.

I wanted something different. A file sharing platform that combines the convenience of services like WeTransfer with the security and control of self-hosting. Something beautiful enough that users would actually want to use it, yet powerful enough to handle real-world demands.

Erugo is the result: a powerful, self-hosted file-sharing platform that puts you in complete control of your data. Built with PHP/Laravel and a Vue.js frontend, it offers secure, customisable file-transfer capabilities through an elegant user interface.

Why Self-Host?

• Your Data, Your Rules — Files stay on your infrastructure. No third-party access, no data mining, no surprises.

• Deploy Anywhere — Run on your own server, VPS, or even a Raspberry Pi. Docker makes setup a breeze.

• Open Source Forever — MIT licensed. Inspect the code, contribute features, or fork it for your own needs.
