A self-hosted file management application built with Node.js, Express.js, EJS, Tailwind CSS, MySQL, and Drizzle ORM.

• Materialized Path Folders: Efficient, recursive-free folder structures for rapid deep nesting lookups.
• Sliding-Window Session Store: Session verification tracked inside MySQL with sliding 7-day expirations and remote multi-device session revocations.
• Resumeable Chunked Uploads: High-speed chunk slicing on client side supporting >10GB file uploads and network interruption resumes with constant memory usage.
• File Versioning: Comprehensive file version archiving with simple one-click restoration or deletion.
• 30-Day Trash Purging: Graceful file deletions with 30-day retention buffers and automated background purging.
• Starred & Recent Filters: Quick access to starred items and recently opened document lists.
• MySQL Full-Text Search: Fast matches on files based on FULLTEXT indexes.
• Asynchronous Work Queue: Background runner (using a database-backed table) to compile ZIP archives, process folder clones, and crop image thumbnails using sharp.
• Completely Self-Hosted: Zero CDN scripts. All fonts (Inter), icons (Bootstrap Icons), and viewers (marked, lightgallery, PDF.js, excel-viewer, js-beautify) are hosted locally.

• Backend: Node.js (latest LTS), Express.js
• Database / ORM: MySQL 8+, Drizzle ORM
• Security & Speed: Helmet headers, CSRF tokens, Rate limiters, Gzip compression
• Frontend: EJS templates, Tailwind CSS, Vanilla JavaScript

• Node.js (v18+ or v20+ recommended)
• MySQL 8+ active server instance
• npm package manager

Clone the repository and run:

npm install

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your database credentials:

cp .env.example .env

Ensure the database specified (e.g. drive_clone) is created inside your MySQL server.

Run the setup script to download and structure the self-hosted assets (fonts, icons, viewers) from node_modules into the public/vendor/ folder:

npm run setup:vendors

Compile Tailwind CSS assets using the Tailwind CLI processor:

npm run build:css

Sync the Drizzle schema structure directly into your MySQL database:

npm run db:push

Start the development server with automatic file watchers:

npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser!
