Hosty - File Hosting for Minimalists

Hosty is a tiny Go application to host arbitrary files on your own webserver. It's meant to be as small as possible and hence offers only the following:

Users configured in the config file can upload files. Optionally, they can also paste code (à la pastebin) with simple syntax highlighting based on Pygments.
Each file gets a randomized URL. Everyone who has the URL can access the content.
Files are simply stored in the filesystem; a minimal SQLite3 database keeps track of them.
Files can destruct themselves on first access and expire after a certain amount of time.
Files can be either public (accessible for everyone who has a link to them), internal (only accessible for logged-in users) or private (only for the owner).
Content can be deleted by their respective owners.
Login via OAuth (Google, GitHub) is possible, but you have to create your own apps to do so.

That's it. There is no admin UI, no commenting, no tagging, no folders, no social media crap or other external resources.

Requirements

Go 1.20
On Windows, you need to be able to build go-sqlite3.

For working on the frontend UI, you will also need Grunt, Bower and npm. Sorry.

Installation

go install go.xrstf.de/hosty -- please use make to make (sic) sure that the version stamp is correct.
Copy the config.yaml.dist, name it as you like (e.g. config.yaml) and adjust it to your needs.
Run hosty via ./hosty serve config.yaml.

If you want, you can use the resources/systemd/hosty.service as an example for a systemd service.
