THE SELF-HOSTED FILE SPACE

EnderChest.

Keep your inventory close.

Your own file space on a computer you control. Keep it just for yourself, or invite trusted friends and family to share it. Your files stay on your server.

01 / THE IDEA

Your server is its own world.

No shared spawn. No EnderChest-hosted account holding everyone's files.

Install it on your Windows or Linux computer and choose where files live. Use it privately, or invite people you trust when you're ready. Every installation has its own accounts, database, and storage.

01Files stay with youGarage stores file bytes on the host you choose.
02Invite your circleCreate accounts by invite and set storage quotas.
03Use it like a driveFolders, search, previews, downloads, and trash.

02 / INSIDE

A familiar drive.
A different address.

Browse your folders, find a file quickly, and pick up where you left off. It is the same EnderChest experience whether you use it alone or invite others in.

INTERFACE ILLUSTRATION / YOUR SERVER HAS THE REAL THING

03 / SET UP

Pick your platform.
Build your base.

Bring a computer that can stay on. The guided setup creates your first admin account and lets you choose a new or empty folder for files.

WINDOWS 10 / 11

Three steps, then your local drive is ready.

  1. 01
    Start Docker Desktop

    Install Docker Desktop ↗ and wait for its engine to start.

  2. 02
    Extract the whole ZIP

    Keep the app and launchers together in the extracted folder.

  3. 03
    Run the setup launcher

    Double-click Setup-EnderChest.cmd and follow the local setup page.

04 / REMOTE ACCESS

Open the gate.
Keep the keys.

Invited people open your server in a browser. They do not install Docker, and they do not access files belonging to another host.

ROUTE 01 / TAILSCALE FUNNEL

A public link from your PC.

Install Tailscale on the host, sign in, and choose Funnel in the publishing launcher. Your host gets a *.ts.net HTTPS address. Invitees only need a browser.

NO PORT FORWARDINGFUNNEL BANDWIDTH LIMITS APPLY

05 / GET THE FILES

Your server starts here.

The full bundle has the app, Docker setup, and guides. Extract all of it. The setup launcher is not a standalone installer.

VERSION 0.1.0 / SELF-HOSTED PREVIEW   CHECKSUMS ↗   SOURCE ↗

No central vault.

This website serves the download. Each host serves their own EnderChest UI, accounts, invitations, and files.

06 / QUESTIONS

Before you place a block.

Do my friends need to install anything?

No. They open your invite link in a normal browser. They do not need Docker or Tailscale.

Can someone on another server see my files?

No. Each EnderChest installation has separate users, storage, and invitations. Other hosts cannot browse your server through this website.

Does enderchest.space store my files?

No. This site offers the software and guide. The files live with the person hosting each instance.

Does my computer need to stay on?

Yes. Your EnderChest server and its public connection need to be running for invited people to reach it.

Is Tailscale required?

No. Keep it local, use Funnel, bring your own HTTPS provider, or use your own domain with Caddy.

Who handles backups and updates?

The host does. Back up the database and object storage, and read the release notes before updating. The install guide points to backup instructions.
