Xbackbone

XBackBone is a simple, self-hosted, lightweight file and media sharing platform with first-class ShareX support. Upload images, GIFs, video, audio, PDFs, code and arbitrary files, then share them through clean short links with rich social embeds. It ships with a modern web UI, multi-user management, a versioned REST API, and pluggable storage backends. This is the next-generation XBackBone, rebuilt from the ground up on Laravel 13 and Livewire 4. - One-click integrations — generate ready-to-use uploader configs for ShareX, ScreenCloud, ishare, Spectacle (KDE), the macOS Share sheet, Xerahs, and a CLI script, all pre-filled with your instance URL and a personal token. - Wide media support — inline previews for images, video, audio (waveform), PDFs, and syntax-highlighted code, plus pastes and link shortening. - Multiple storage backends — Local disk, Amazon S3 (and S3-compatible), FTP, and SFTP. - Content-addressed storage — uploads are de-duplicated by content fingerprint. - Private & public uploads — per-resource visibility, optional password protection and expiration. - REST API — versioned API with token authentication and auto-generated OpenAPI docs. - Modern authentication — registration, email verification, password reset, two-factor authentication (TOTP), and passkeys (WebAuthn). - User management — admin roles, per-user disk quotas, and usage statistics. - Activity log — a searchable, filterable timeline of account and admin activity, for both your own actions and (for admins) the whole instance. - Feature flags — toggle sign-ups, default theme and more without redeploying. - Theming — switchable daisyUI themes, localization-ready UI. - Guided web installer — set up the database, storage, and admin account from the browser. - In-app updates — admins can check for new releases and upgrade the instance from the browser, with no shell access required. - Legacy import — migrate users and uploads from a legacy XBackBone instance, with old links transparently redirected. Sign-in: this app keeps its own accounts. Each member signs up or signs in inside the app with an app username and password; the hub remembers each member's session. First account: the app's own setup page (/install) makes it (ionowner) the first time the owner opens the app, then sign in at /login. The import did not test signing in (its sign-in page (/login) showed no form to fill in (status 200)). Xbackbone is the open-source project sergix44/xbackbone (https://github.com/sergix44/xbackbone) by sergix44, released under Apache-2.0. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 524b9bc2cbd3, adding only a manifest, an icon and a start script.

It does not send push notifications.

Storage

Up to 1 GB on your Personal Cloud.

Its address

Works best with its own address. A Personal Cloud shared through Cloudflare can give it one; on a private Personal Cloud on Tailscale it opens under your Personal Cloud’s address, where it may not work fully. Private and shared Personal Clouds
