BoxBox is a modern, self-hosted file manager for Linux homelab and NAS-style servers. It gives you a clean browser UI over mounted Linux paths, with file uploads, previews for common file types, search, and background file operations like copy, move, and delete. It is built with Go and SvelteKit, ships with Docker/Compose, and is open source under MIT.

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.

@jr4dh3y congrats on the launch Radhey. This looks smooth. Any F1 reference to the name?

@zolani_matebese yeha i watch f1 so i named it boxbox xD

Love the positioning. Not every self-hosted project needs to become the next Nextcloud. Sometimes you just want a fast, clean interface to files that are already on your server. Congrats on the launch!
