Show HN: Erugo – A privacy-focused, single-binary WeTransfer alternative

I wanted to share a tool I've been working on called erugo - it's a privacy-respecting file sharing solution that you can host yourself.

*Why I built it:*

I wanted to learn Go by building something practical that I'd actually use. I needed a simple way to share large files with clients and family, but didn't want to rely on services that track usage or collect data. Most importantly, I wanted something that would just work without complex setup or dependencies.

*Key Features:*

- Single binary deployment (backend + frontend bundled together)

- No tracking, no metrics collection, completely private

- Local authentication for share creation

- Human-readable share URLs

- SQLite for simplicity (no external database needed)

- Clean, modern UI

- Configurable storage paths and file size limits

- MIT licensed and completely open source

*Tech Stack:*

Built with Go backend and Vue.js frontend, packaged into a single binary. Uses SQLite for metadata storage and local filesystem for files.

*Getting Started:*

1. Download the binary

2. Run it

3. Follow the interactive first-run setup

4. Start sharing files!

The project is fully open source and available at: https://github.com/DeanWard/erugo

I'm actively developing erugo and would love to hear your feedback and feature requests. Currently working on adding Docker support and white-labeling options via the UI.

Let me know if you have any questions! As this is my first Go project, I'm particularly interested in feedback from experienced Go developers as I expect there are many ways to improve the code.
