Pingvin Share is a self-hosted file sharing platform that lets you send files to other people using a shareable link, similar to services like WeTransfer but running on your own server. Because you host it yourself, there is no third-party company holding your files, and the only storage limit is whatever disk space you have available. When you share a set of files, you can control how long the link stays active by setting an expiration date. You can also restrict access with a password or limit how many times the link can be opened. There is an option to notify recipients by email, and a reverse share feature that lets someone else upload files directly to your server through a link you send them. Authentication is handled through OIDC (a single sign-on standard) or LDAP (a directory service common in corporate environments). Files can be stored on the local server disk or in S3-compatible object storage. ClamAV, an open-source antivirus scanner, can be plugged in to scan uploaded files for malware. Setup is designed to be straightforward. The recommended approach is Docker: download a compose file, run one command, and the interface is available in a browser on port 3000. More detailed installation options and configuration settings are covered in the project's separate documentation site. It is worth noting that the project is now archived. The developer, a solo maintainer, chose to stop active development to concentrate on another project called Pocket ID. The code remains available and usable, but will not receive ongoing updates from the original author. Anyone wanting to continue development is encouraged to fork it. The project accepted translations and code contributions through its active period, and links to both contribution paths remain in the README.
