Self-Hosted Spotlight

Meet Filestash, a front-end web client for managing data stored in various backends: S3, Backblaze, Minio, Git, WebDav, SFTP, Samba, local filesystems, LDAP, Dropbox, Google Drive, and more. Each instance can connect users to a number of data sources and includes the ability to view images, videos, documents, and other files directly in the browser. Filestash is mobile-friendly, customizable, and can even gain additional functionality via plugins.

Docker is currently the only supported method of installation, although the software's documentation states they support other methods for those willing to pay for the service.

Note: Filestash is not a file syncing application like Nextcloud or Syncthing. It is a web interface for data stored in specific locations that would be more similar to popular tools like Filebrowser.
