Overview

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 on a VPS Docker in France : your captures and files remain in France, never on a third-party service, and you install and maintain the application yourself. The VPS is not managed by default, but a paid management option can be added to the order.

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).

Zipline needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Zipline 6 questions

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?

Yes. Zipline can store locally or on a compatible S3 backend, useful for large volumes; DINAO configures the option according to your needs.

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.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
