FileCodeBox

FileCodeBox is a self-hosted service for anonymous file transfer and private content hosting. It functions as a secure distribution tool and private pastebin, allowing users to share files and text snippets through the use of unique extraction codes.

The platform differentiates itself with flexible expiration logic, where shared content can be automatically invalidated based on a predefined clock time or a maximum number of downloads. It also provides direct-browser multimedia rendering to preview images, audio, and video files without requiring a full download.

The system includes administrative tools for monitoring system statistics, managing stored assets, and configuring global parameters. Security is managed through IP-based rate limiting to prevent service abuse and token-based authentication for administrative access.

The application is provided as a containerized deployment for automated installation and environment setup.
