smolvault is a self-hosted file storage tool I built to run on my Raspberry Pi.
At its core, smolvault is a Python REST API written with FastAPI that manages users and files.
File metadata is stored in a SQLite table while the uploaded files themselves are stored in S3.
Note
When a user requests a file, that file is cached locally on the server for an indeterminate amount of time to improve subsequent download requests.
This project also includes a terraform directory containing code to setup IAM resources and an S3 bucket to store the uploaded files.
