Chibisafe is a file uploader service written in typescript that just works. It's easy to use, easy to deploy, free and open source. It accepts files, photos, documents, anything you imagine and gives you back a shareable link for you to send to others.
You can run it in public mode, user accounts mode or invite-only mode. Big files are automatically chunked to minimize network failure and users can create an API key to use the service programatically and hook it to other things.
The service also comes with a dashboard where you can edit almost every configuration of the instance directly from the UI without having to touch environment or configuration files manually. Control the name, the rate limit, max file size, accepted extensions, meta descriptions, etc directly from our intuitive panel.
If you fork/deploy your own instance it would mean a lot if you were to keep either the GitHub logo to our repo or a link to it 💖

Whichever method you choose to install chibisafe keep in mind that the installation process creates an account named admin with the same password. Once you log in the first time make sure to change it! Also we highly recommend using docker for chibisafe.

If you come from v5 you might be used to chibisafe exposing 1 single port for you to reverse proxy into nginx/caddy/apache. Starting from v6 this is also the case (although port is now 24424) as long as you run the configuration we provide with docker. Other than configuring your reverse proxy accordingly, all you need to do to migrate is to copy both the uploads/ and database/ folders into your new instance folder. Once chibisafe starts it will apply the necessary migrations automatically.
Caution
Migrating from an older version than v5 to v6 is not possible, so we recommend setting up a new instance instead.
