Hey HN, After seeing all the cool solopreneurs on X I decided to try and see for myself what this is all about. 9 months later here I am with my first project. I decided to scratch my own itch, creating SFTP servers from a simple S3 bucket. I was tired of all my employer's customers asking for SFTP access when all I wanted was to use S3. There I have my lifecycle rules, proper access control, lambda triggers. All the cool stuff. But they keep asking for SFTP and let's be honest SFTP isn't cool. So I created this bridge, they get SFTP, I get modern tech. I hope this tool can help you feel…

I created a 100% Open source Company-wide Self-hosted File Sharing Solution for Teams Recently, I wanted to share HD images and video files with my graphic designer. She’s exceptional at her craft but isn’t familiar with AWS S3 So, I got an idea and built this.

Hi HN, I'm building ThirdCloud with the goal to replace Google Drive for everyone: more private, cheaper & maybe better UI/UX. So far, I've successfully implemented the main feature, which involves uploading and downloading files. Files are encrypted before being sent to IPFS network. Would like to hear your thoughts on this proof of concept.

Over the past few years I’ve been thinking about how I could build SaaS and deploy it on my own infrastructure without needing to use any cloud platforms like AWS or GCP. In this repo I document my progress on building a clone of AWS S3 that functions the same as S3 using an exclusively open-source technology stack.

WinCse is an application that integrates AWS S3 buckets with Windows Explorer. Utilizing WinFsp and the AWS SDK, WinCse allows you to treat S3 buckets as part of your local file system, making file management simpler. The application is currently in development, with plans for additional features and improvements.

We started CallFS after yet another late-night “why did the uploads vanish?” incident. Our small team had stitched together rsync, a fragile NFS mount, and an S3 bucket—none of it observable, all of it waiting to bite us. So we wrote a single-process file service in Go that: • Speaks the S3 API (so existing tooling works). • Stores hot data on local disks for speed; cold data can sit in any S3-compatible bucket. • Exposes Prometheus metrics and JSON logs by default, because “what happened?” shouldn’t be guesswork. • Ships as a ~25 MB static binary—no external deps, MIT license. Today it’s…

I wanted to play my Steam games but my aging PC couldn’t keep up, so I built Cloudy Pad - a tool to run Steam in the Cloud (GitHub: https://github.com/PierreBeucher/cloudypad) It runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, Scaleway and Paperspace with various cost optimizations and safeties: - Cost alerts - Auto stop inactive instances to avoid unwanted cost - Disk snapshots and data cleanup for cost efficiency - Spot instance support Under the hood: a Linux VM and a container running Sunshine (a streaming server https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine) with Steam. Most…
