Since 360 Yunpan scaled back its services to enterprise users, I have been constantly searching for a private cloud storage solution suitable for personal use. However, after surveying various cloud storage options on the internet, they are either too simple or too complex to deploy, and there are also various strange issues that arise (such as Nextcloud).
Therefore, after continuous attempts, I finally discovered a cloud storage program that is more in line with my usage habits - Cloudreve.
Helping you quickly build a public and private dual-purpose cloud storage system at the lowest cost
Installation#
Since the official website already has a detailed installation tutorial, I will not repeat it here. It involves: installing the LNMP environment, creating a virtual host, obtaining the program, editing the database connection information, loading the fileinfo PHP extension, and modifying the Nginx settings.
Usage#
Upon entering the page, a beautiful homepage greets you. Click on "Login" to use the default account to log in. After experiencing it, I have summarized the pros and cons as follows:
Pros#
- Support for multiple users (you can use the same cloud storage system without interfering with your friends or family)
- Comprehensive sharing features (provides public and private sharing, with a simple interface)
- One-click extraction of file external links (using the wget tool)
- Customizable file upload policies (ensuring server security)
- Support for integration with Aria2 for offline downloads
- Easy installation
- WebDAV support
...
Cons#
Does not support scanning local files (file uploads can only be done through the web interface, probably because it requires database management)
Overall Evaluation#
Cloudreve is already a mature cloud storage program and is the top choice for private cloud storage after Owncloud and Nextcloud.
