Pingvin Share X v2.0.0 is out (adding S3 direct access, quotas, and permissions)
A little over a year ago Pingvin Share was archived by its original developer, I used it in my own homelab and didn't like the alternatives I found. So I (mostly for myself) forked the project and decided to have a go at maintaining it. Long story short, I've been meaning to post about this for a while and I figure a big release is as good a time as any. This release has been cooking for quite a while and contains lots of good stuff, including breaking changes if S3 is used (see the docs ). Some of the new features in v2.0.0: - S3 now uses presigned URLs so the backend server is no longer a proxy between the user and the bucket. - The configuration menu has been reorganised and a new Security & Access page has been added. The many new config options should be much easier to find. - User's now have (optional) Display Names, used everywhere you'd expect to see a real name. - Auth (the login and signup) buttons can be hidden from share/upload pages to help prevent confusion when sharing links. - A customisable password policy. - Per user feature permissions and quotes, control whether users can upload or just access shares and more. - Support HTTP Range, mostly relevant for file previews you can now skip back and forth through videos. It also contains ~18 bug fixes, which admittedly probably should have gone out sooner, but were delayed because maintaining two release channels is hard. See the full release notes on GitHub . I hope everyone is enjoying Pingvin Share X, if are (or aren't) I'd like to hear about it (here, via a feature request or a bug report). Thanks to the community for helping out and making this release possible. preview.redd.it/2bw28eng8ath1.png
