Reminded me of zerobin / privatebin. We used this internally at a previous company to share passwords and sensitive files.

Data is encrypted at client and a url with a key is generated.

Can be used 'burn after reading or with some specific lifetime.

As far as I can see, this requires S3 or a S3 compatible service. Kind of defeats the purpose of self hosting unless you can set one yourself (it may be, I didn't look).

EDIT: Apparently there's a way to use filesystem instead of S3, it's just not well documented.

Minio is your friend. (S3 compatible self-hosted, open-source object store).

I recently implemented a text/snippet sharing tool that uses Minio instead of S3, because I like to self-host everything.

I use this with Seafile to store data in Azure Blob storage - it was incredibly simple to setup and has been rock solid since. Highly recommended!

[penagwin]

I'm curious, how do you use both seafile and minio?

[GordonS]

Minio is an S3 proxy, allowing you to use different storage backends with systems that support S3-compatible blob storage (like Seafile).

In my case I have Minio in front of Azure blob storage, so Seafile is storing data in that.

I host Seafile and Minio using Docker Compose, which was super-simple to get started with.

FWIW, It took me about 5 minutes to get it going after I updated nodejs to version 10. It took me another 5 minutes to realize it setup a local filesystem storage in $TEMP automatically. I was impressed with how easy it was to get going, and that it picked sensible (though not well documented) defaults :)

The default npm install; npm start will give you a self-hosted app. The docker one is a different beast.
