Built tmpdrop — a tiny self-hosted ephemeral file drop

A developer built tmpdrop, a self-hosted ephemeral file drop service that automatically deletes uploaded files after one or 24 hours. The tool generates unguessable URLs with 72 bits of entropy and enforces a strict MIME allowlist with CSP sandboxing. The project is available as a single Docker Compose deployment under the MIT license.

Drag-drop upload, unguessable URLs (72 bits entropy), auto-deletes after 1h/24h, strict MIME allowlist + CSP sandbox.

One docker compose up. MIT.

Why another one: public file hosts retain your data on infra you don't control + predictable URLs get scraped. tmpdrop is "0x0.st but on your own box" with a security posture I'm actually comfortable with.

Built with Claude Code pair-programming; threat model + security choices mine.
