Fred.moe

fred.moe is a simplified file sharing service built with ease of installation in mind. Fred.moe comes with many features out of the box:

• Simple user interface
• HTTPs by default (via Let's Encrypt)
• Self-updating ClamAV scans your files daily and upon upload
• Everything is contained in a Docker image meaning minimal configuration

Installation

Step 1: Install Docker

if you are on a Linux system, install Docker with this command:

curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh

Otherwise take a look at how to install Docker

Step 2: Install Docker Compose

Please take a look at the docker docs.

Step 3: Configure the service

Create a new permanent directory for fred.moe. Create a file called docker-compose.yml and paste this into it:

version: '2'

services:
  moe:
    image: frederikam/fred.moe:latest
    hostname: moe
    container_name: moe
    ports:
    - "80:80"
    - "443:443"
    - "2500:2500"
    environment:
    # This is required for automatic HTTPS! Setting this value
    # indicates that you agree to Let's Encrypt Subscriber Agreement.
    # No further action is required on your part
    - CADDY_EMAIL=
    # Also super important. The domain must be specified, otherwise fred.moe will only be readable on port 2500.
    # Example: example.org
    - DOMAIN=
    volumes:
    # By default your data will be mounted to ./moedata . Feel free to change this value, but keep the `:/home/data` part.
    - ./moedata:/home/data

Remember to change the CADDY_EMAIL setting.

Step 4: Deployment

To download and run the latest container, all you need to do is run one command:

docker-compose up -d moe

If you want to peek inside the container, you can run this command:

You are free to edit the /home/public/ folder which contains all the static files.

docker exec -it moe bash

Run this command if you want to look at the logs:

docker logs -f moe

Updating

This command will update your image, but will by default discard all data but your uploaded files:

docker pull frederikam/fred.moe && docker-compose up moe -d
