Gokapi

Temporary file sharing with expiring links and download limits — a WeTransfer-style dropbox under your own domain.

Notes

One-click install: the admin account and all server settings are seeded automatically on first boot, so there is NO manual setup wizard. Both the configuration and the uploaded files are stored on persistent volumes, so they survive container updates and rebuilds.

Sign in with the admin username and password you set below, then create share links from the admin panel.
