[Project] 0807 - a self-hosted ephemeral file host with no accounts and a Tor onion service (0807.st)

I run 0807, a small self-hosted file host. Drop a file, get a short link, and choose when it disappears.

What it does:

  • No account, no ads, no trackers
  • Auto-delete by time (1 hour up to 30 days, or never) or after a set number of downloads
  • Optional password protection on files and on text notes
  • Files up to 20 GB, with 16 TB of storage behind it
  • Reachable over Tor through an onion service
  • Text notes with the same self-destruct and password options
  • A few file types are blocked for safety (exe, bat, scripts, and similar)

PS: there is no end-to-end encryption, and that is deliberate. The server can read what is stored.

I want to be able to take illegal uploads down when they get reported, CSAM in particular.

End-to-end encryption would make the server blind to its own contents, which is great for privacy but would also stop me from acting on those reports.

If you need real secrecy, encrypt the file before you upload it. The password option is there for casual privacy (not as protection from me or from whoever might get into the server.)

The code is open, and I host it the same way I host the files, on my own server instead of HERE .

You can read it, propose a change, or open an issue there, no account needed

Happy to answer questions about the setup or take feedback.

Is the name of the service a reference to anything?

What happens if you run out of space because of too many uploads that are set to never expire?

(Also it's neat! Thanks!)

Hello, yes, the name refers to the webtoon (08/07). It’s an anthology of horror stories. https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/0807/list?title_no=848743

As for the stored files whose retention period is set to never they do indeed remain online I monitor their status rather than letting them accumulate unchecked.

There is a configurable storage limit and once it’s reached, the server blocks any new uploads instead of silently deleting or overwriting existing files.

There’s also an (optional cleanup feature) for files that haven’t been used in a long time, which I can enable if I ever run out of space.

With 16 TB, I have plenty of leeway and since I manage the server myself I can add disks or sort through the files manually if necessary. No files without an expiration date are automatically deleted.

And thanks I’m glad you like it :)

Do you mitigate potential abuse where someone deliberately tries to upload as much as they can as fast as possible?
