I built BoxBox because I wanted my Linux server/NAS files to feel as easy to manage as local folders, without bloated web apps or deploying a full cloud suite. BoxBox is a self-hosted file manager built for homelabs and bare-metal Linux servers. It gives you a modern browser UI for mounted paths, multi-mount navigation, chunked uploads, Monaco-based code/config editing, media previews, WebSocket progress updates, and Docker-native deployment. The goal is not to replace full platforms like Nextcloud. BoxBox is for people who already have storage mounted on a server and want a clean, fast control surface over it. It is open source, and PRs, issues, feature requests, commits, bug reports, and security feedback are welcome. Would love feedback from homelab/NAS users on what should be improved next.
