Show HN: Agam Space – Self-hosted, zero-knowledge, E2EE file storage
I reposted, since i forgot the Show HN prefix.
When I looked at self-hosted options, true E2EE turned out to be surprisingly rare. Most solutions rely on disk encryption, which only protects against physical theft, not server compromise or admin access. So I built Agam Space, my attempt at a self-hosted alternative to Mega or Proton Drive. It uses proper zero-knowledge encryption. Files are encrypted in the browser, and the server only stores encrypted blobs. Admins literally cannot access the files. It’s still in early beta, with very basic functionality and no professional security audit yet. Please don’t use it as your only backup.
