Your file host, in France
🔒 VPS onlyZipline is a self-hosted and fast file and image host, compatible with ShareX and flameshot. DINAO installs and hosts it in France — your captures and files stay with you.
What is Zipline?
Zipline is an open-source file and image host, self-hosted and fast, designed to replace public services like Imgur with your own instance. It is compatible with popular capture tools such as ShareX and flameshot, and even generates a ready-to-use configuration file.
The application features a modern interface with galleries, folders, statistics, custom URLs, password protection, automatic link expiration, and an integrated URL shortener. An API and upload tokens allow you to automate publishing from your scripts and tools. Storage can be local or rely on a compatible S3 backend.
Hosted by DINAO, Zipline runs in a dedicated container on our French infrastructure : your captures and files remain in France, never on a third-party service, and DINAO manages installation, security, and updates.
Host Zipline at DINAO
No managed container for Zipline: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 512 Mo / 5 Go minimum).
Application available on a VPS
This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain Zipline yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.
Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).

Does Zipline replace Imgur or ShareX cloud?
Yes. Zipline is your own image and file host: compatible with ShareX and flameshot, it replaces public services with a sovereign instance that you control.
Are my files private?
Yes. Your uploads remain on your instance hosted in France by DINAO. You manage access, passwords, and expiration for each file.
Can I use S3 storage?

How do I configure ShareX?
Zipline generates a ready-to-use ShareX configuration file. You import it into ShareX and each capture is uploaded with a short link copied automatically.
Can I change my plan?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade based on your storage volume, and your files remain exportable — no lock-in.
