🌱 Mikochi: a minimalist remote file browser

Mikochi is a remote file browser, for use in self-hosted servers / NAS. It allows you to browse remote folders, upload files, delete, rename, download and stream files to VLC/mpv.

It comes with a web interface powered by JavaScript/Preact, and an API built in Go/Gin.

mikochi.mp4

Features

  • Browse files on you remote server
  • Fuzzy search
  • Upload new files and create folders
  • Rename and delete files
  • Download files and directories (in .tar.gz)
  • Stream files to VLC/MPV

Getting started

Docker

Launch the app using docker:

docker run \
-p 8080:8080 -v $(PWD)/data:/data \
-e DATA_DIR="/data" -e USERNAME=zer0tonin \
-e PASSWORD=horsebatterysomething zer0tonin/mikochi:latest

You'll find a complete tutorial on installing Mikochi securely with Docker and Traefik here.

Kubernetes

For Kubernetes users, Mikochi is installable using a helm chart:

helm repo add zer0tonin https://zer0tonin.github.io/helm-charts/
helm install mikochi zer0tonin/mikochi \
--version 1.10.0 --set mikochi.username=zer0tonin \
--set mikochi.password=my_super_password --set persistence.enabled=true

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint

Install the app using a .deb package from the latest release.

wget -c https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi/releases/download/1.10.0/mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.deb

sudo chmod +x mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.deb
sudo apt install mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.deb
sudo mkdir /data

PASSWORD=horsebatterysomething mikochi

Fedora / Red Hat / CentOS

Install the app using a .rpm package from the latest release.

wget -c https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi/releases/download/1.10.0/mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.rpm

sudo chmod +x mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.rpm
sudo mkdir /data

PASSWORD=horsebatterysomething mikochi

Binary

Launch the app using a pre-compiled binary from the latest release:

wget -c https://github.com/zer0tonin/Mikochi/releases/download/1.10.0/mikochi-1.10.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz

sudo mkdir /data
sudo mkdir /usr/share/mikochi
sudo mv ./mikochi-1.10.0/mikochi /usr/bin/mikochi
sudo mv ./mikochi-1.10.0/static /usr/share/mikochi/static

PASSWORD=horsebatterysomething mikochi

Configuration

Mikochi is configured using environment variables

Key Description Default
HOST The ip:port mikochi will listen on 0.0.0.0:80
DATA_DIR The directory accessed by mikochi /data
JWT_SECRET A secret string for jwt validation [Random]
USERNAME The username to login with root
PASSWORD The password to login with pass
CERT_CA The path to a TLS certificate null
CERT_KEY The path to the key associated with CERT_CA null
NO_AUTH If true, disables all authentication false
GZIP If true, enables gzip compression false
FRONTEND_FILES The location of the frontend static files /usr/share/mikochi/static

Note: it is recommended to not manually set JWT_SECRET, as getting a new randomly generated secret everytime when mikochi starts let's you invalidate authentication tokens by restarting the process.

Launching the development environment

The development environment and build pipeline rely on Docker/docker-compose.

Run the dockerized development environment with:

make dev

It will start a frontend container (listening on 5000), a backend container (listening on 4000) and an nginx to wire both (listening on 8080).
