Uguu

Uguu is a self-hosted web application designed for temporary file hosting and sharing. It provides a minimal interface that allows users to upload files and images quickly without the need for an account or a registration process. The software is intended to facilitate rapid file transfers by removing the friction typically associated with cloud storage services.

The application operates as a server-side utility deployed on a web server. It supports standard browser-based interactions, allowing users to upload content via a web interface or through automated transfers using a dedicated API. While the primary use case focuses on temporary storage for short-term sharing, the system can also be configured to function as a permanent file host depending on the administrator's requirements.

Technically, Uguu is built using PHP and is compiled with Bun before running on a PHP environment. It is designed to work with Nginx web servers and offers flexibility in data management by supporting multiple database backends, including SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. The development of the software follows the PSR-12 coding style guides to maintain a consistent codebase. The project is based on the Pomf architecture and is distributed under the GPL-3.0 license, ensuring it remains free software.

This tool is intended for system administrators and users who require a lightweight, self-managed utility for quick file transfers and image hosting on their own infrastructure.
