Locker | Open-Source File Storage Platform
The self-hostable alternative to Dropbox and Google Drive. Upload, organize, and share files from your own infrastructure.
Bring your own storage — local disk, S3, R2, or Vercel Blob. One env var to switch. Full type-safe API with tRPC.
Very cool.
Next.js 16 with App Router, PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, tRPC for type-safe APIs, BetterAuth for authentication, and Tailwind CSS for the UI. The project uses a Turborepo monorepo with pnpm workspaces.
Oof. This Vercel-based stack is hard for me to swallow.
Multi-Store Replication
Attach multiple storage backends per workspace. Designate a primary store, fan out writable replicas for redundancy, and ingest files from read-only sources.
Neat. Almost no backup needed.
Search Inside Images & PDFs
Find files by what's in them, not just the name. Locker transcribes images and PDFs into searchable text so every document is discoverable.
Smart.
Virtual Bash Shell
Navigate your files with familiar commands. Use ls, cd, find, cat, and grep through a virtual filesystem API.
Love the idea of this, but it's not a CLI per se, it's an API you can use via tRPC.
