Vue-fs: A home file server solution

The greatest use case I could hope for with this project is that someone uses it to turn their old laptop they were gonna throw away into a file server.

Vue-fs is meant to be just that. A simple home server app for anyone that wants to NAS the old hardware they have lying around. I'm also planning on adding more features in the future like User/API Auth, File Sharing and Public/Private folders.

โœ”๏ธ Upload (multiple files)
โœ”๏ธ Download (multiple files/directories)
โœ”๏ธ Move (multiple files/directories)
โœ”๏ธ Delete (multiple files/directories)
โœ”๏ธ Subfolders
โœ”๏ธ Extracting
โœ”๏ธ Create new diretories
โœ”๏ธ Filtering
โœ”๏ธ File viewer *if compatible with the browser
โœ–๏ธ Rename files/directories
โœ–๏ธ User/API auth
โœ–๏ธ HTTPS
โœ–๏ธ File Sharing

Final Notes

I ran compatibility tests on the project's node backend with a Raspberry Pi, an old netbook running Ubuntu, and a Windows 10 machine. All features worked on all three of these test machines (thanks POSIX!).

I'm always open to collaboration, and would welcome pull requests. I hope someone out there finds this useful, and hopefully this will enrich the FOSS community in some small way. Thanks for checking it out guys!

๐Ÿ”ฅ A big thanks to Jude Giordano and Gazij for their work on PR #2. This PR removes much of the bloat from the old backend, provides feature fixes and creates a more robust backend. Cheers! ๐Ÿบ

This project exists mostly as a challenge to myself! Vue-fs is meant to be a complete home file server and file management solution. The idea being you can run it on a Raspberry Pi, an old laptop or even a rack server Over time I will be adding extra features to this project, listed below. I also welcome collaboration, should any of you feel inclined :)
