Show HN: I created a minimalist file-browser web application
As I got tired of fighting with Jellyfin and SFTP for my media server, I decided to write a small web application that allows me to browse, manage, download and stream the files on my web server. It comes as a single-page application with a Preact frontend and a Go/Gin backend.
Creating this allowed me to get back into full-stack development, which was a bit tougher than expected after having taken a multi-year break from touching any frontend code.
You'll find the source code, binary releases and installation instructions on GitHub: https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi

And the helm chart: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/zer0tonin/mikochi https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/zer0tonin/mikochi
I also did a write-up about the project on my blog: https://alicegg.tech/2023/06/09/mikochi.html https://alicegg.tech/2023/06/09/mikochi.html
- tuchsen 3y agoHey, this looks neat. I usually just use SCP to upload, and then a basic http server to download files but this looks slicker. I'll give it a go. This is weird to mention, but we have "developing niche file managers" in common. I just finished the first preview release of Aerome (aerome.net), it's going to grow into a cross platform file manager that uses AI to help manage your files. So nothing like your thing, but kinda like your thing. Anyways, nice work on the file manager, I'm looking forward to trying it out.
