Filebrowser
Minimal web-based file manager that exposes a directory over a browser UI with upload/download/edit. About as simple as self-hosted software gets, though it trades that simplicity for basic security features.

⚙ Full Stack
Go single binary, embedded SQLite for user/config metadata, serves files directly from a mounted directory — no external database or services.
📈 Scaling Analysis
Genuinely stateless aside from the file volume itself, so it's trivial to containerize and redeploy, but it's fundamentally a single-node file server — there's no clustering story for the underlying storage, so 'scale' here means bigger disks, not more nodes.
🚀 Running on Nexlayer
A single pod with a persistent volume mounted at the served directory is the entire deployment; mirror.gcr.io/library/golang covers the build image. No inter-pod DNS is needed at all since it has zero external dependencies.
