Tagem - A Self-hosted Feature-Rich File Manager for Your Server

A single page application, with associated command-line utilities, for the rapid categorising and accessing of files, based on assignable attributes such as (hierarchical) tags, named variables, file sizes, hashes, and audio duration.

Features

• Supports most common file formats
• Hashing of local files.
  • Hashes include MD5, SHA256, and DCT (visual hashing of images and video).
  • These hashes can be used in qry to facilitate fast manual de-duplication.
  • Hashing of remote files is planned.
• Text editor
  • More of a text creator atm, as editing existing files is currently restricted.
• Ordering, filtering etc. of results in the tables on the page.
• qry: A simple query language that allows for short and human-friendly queries that automatically translate to complex SQL queries
  • Combine ANDs and ORs (intersections and unions) of many different filters (for attributes like size, views, likes, tags; hashes in common with other files; etc).
  • It can search for all types of things, not just files but also the tags themselves.
  • See the full documentation.
• Heirarchical tags
  • Any tag can have any number of parent tags and any number of child tags.
• Everything can be tagged
  • Eras, files, directories, devices, and even tags themselves (as parent tags)
  • For instance, the directory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v- could be tagged Video, and that tag will be applied to all files within.
• Support for remote files
  • Remote files are as accessible as local files (except for some sites that tell the browser not to display them within iframes - though there's a relatively simple workaround for that).
  • You can add files from the server's attached storage devices, and also from remote websites (including an option for downloading with youtube-dl). Local copies of remote files are treated as backups, and are listed on the remote file's page.
  • With the view filesystem option, this means that - provided the server has access to a script written for the specific website - a website's contents could be easily viewable in the table view.
• Eras
  • Tagged time intervals of audio and video files.
  • These can be searched for, and used in playlists interchangeably with files themselves.
  • Eras can be downloaded (from a local file or remote URL) into their own file.
    • NOTE: This currently requires ffmpeg to be installed alongside this server. However, it will eventually be combined into the server itself.
• Playlists
  • Playlists can be created on the fly out of any selection of files and/or eras (in any combination).
• Support for other databases
  • Files can be associated with posts from other databases, so long as those databases follow a strict structure.
  • For instance, a Reddit post could be scraped, and associated with the URL of the linked article, as here
  • Each external database can, if it includes the necessary tables, display a lot more information than just the comments under a post, even listing all the posts (translated to our files) that a single user has commented on.
  • An example script for scraping Reddit posts is included in this project
• Tag thumbnails
  • These thumbnails are inherited from their parents, unless the child has a thumbnail of its own.
• file2 values
  • Files can be assigned arbitrary values, currently integers and datetimes.
  • For instance, you could have a Score attribute for each user to assign to files.
• Permissions system
  • Different users can be assigned different blocklists of tags, and will not be able to view any era/file/directory/device with such a tag, or a descendant of such a tag.
  • Different users can have different allowed actions, such as viewing files, editing tags, creating eras, assigning tags, and adding files.
  • A big caveat here is that the login system is currently only a placeholder - it does not yet even ask for a password.
• Low footprint
  • Almost all executed JavaScript was written by hand - only one 3rd party library is loaded
  • On Firefox, each page consumes 10-15MB - comparable to a Google search results page
  • The CSS is designed to avoid unnecessarily moving parts

Supported Systems

• Linux
