A simple and fast file server, hosted in France
Dufs is a lightweight file server: static sharing, upload, search, WebDAV, and access control, all in one ultra-fast tool. Installed and maintained by DINAO, on our French servers.
What is Dufs?
Dufs is a lightweight and versatile file server, written in Rust and distributed as a single binary. Despite its simplicity, it covers most sharing needs: static file service, upload, deletion, search, index rendering, and access via the WebDAV protocol.
Its web interface allows you to browse, upload, and search for files directly from the browser, while WebDAV enables mounting the space as a network drive on workstations. On the security side, Dufs offers access control per user and per folder, granular read/write permissions, TLS support, compression, file hashing, and customizable error pages.
All configuration is done via a simple YAML file or environment variables, making Dufs very easy to operate. Its low memory footprint and instant startup make it an ideal choice for efficient file sharing without over-engineering. Hosted by DINAO in France, it becomes a sovereign, encrypted, and GDPR-compliant file space.
