Deploy Dufs in one click installation.
Lightweight self-hosted file server with a clean web UI, WebDAV support, and per-path access control.
What you can build with Dufs
Dufs is a lightweight open-source file server that lets you browse, upload, download, and manage files through a clean web interface. It speaks WebDAV, so you can mount your storage as a network drive on Windows, macOS, or Linux using any standard file manager client — no extra software needed on the connecting device.
Self-hosting Dufs on your VPS keeps your files on infrastructure you fully control, with no cloud storage fees, no vendor file-size limits, and no third-party access to your data. Configure read-write or read-only access rules per directory, protect paths with credentials, and share files securely over HTTPS through the built-in Traefik integration.
Key features of Dufs
Web file browser
Browse, upload, download, rename, and delete files from any browser without installing additional client software.
WebDAV protocol
Mount your Dufs server as a native network drive on Windows, macOS, or Linux using built-in OS WebDAV support.
Per-path access control
Apply distinct read-write or read-only rules to different directories, each protected by individual credentials.
File search and preview
Search across your stored files by name and preview common formats such as images, text, and video directly in the browser.
Single container
Runs as a single lightweight container with no external database — easy to back up, migrate, and maintain.

I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
