Deploy Erugo on your own server.
Erugo is a self-hosted, open source alternative to WeTransfer for sharing files and folders. Drag files into the browser to generate a share link with an optional expiry date, download limit, and password, then track who has downloaded what. It stores everything in a single SQLite database by default and generates its own encryption key…

Why Erugo
Everything you need, running where you choose.
Get the full Erugo experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.
Drag-and-Drop Sharing
Drop one or more files or folders into the browser to instantly generate a shareable link, no CLI required.
Download Tracking
See exactly who downloaded a share and when, from the admin dashboard.
Branding Controls
Replace the logo and background image shown on the public share pages from within the admin settings.
Optional MySQL or PostgreSQL
Ships with SQLite for zero-config deployments, but can be pointed at an external MySQL or PostgreSQL database via environment variables for larger installs.
Zero-Config First Boot
The app key, JWT secret, and SQLite database are all generated automatically on first start, so there is nothing to configure before sharing your first file.
Expiring, Password-Protected Links
Every share can have a download limit, expiry date, and password set independently, so files stop being accessible exactly when you want.
How it works
From template to live app in three steps.
Easypanel turns the template into real services, storage, and domains on the server you already control.
