AList

AList is a popular open-source file list program with nearly 50,000 GitHub stars, written in Go and powered by a Solid.js frontend. It unifies local storage and dozens of cloud providers behind a single web interface and a fully compliant WebDAV server, removing the need to install separate clients for each cloud account or remember different sets of credentials.

Common Use Cases

Home users deploy AList to consolidate personal files spread across OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, and regional cloud drives, accessing everything through a single web URL or WebDAV mount on their devices. Small teams use AList as a lightweight private file portal, exposing curated folders from S3 buckets, SFTP servers, or company drives to clients without giving out backend credentials. Media enthusiasts pair AList with players like Infuse, VLC, or PotPlayer using its WebDAV endpoint to stream movies, music, and photos stored on remote drives. Developers and admins use it as a shared file gateway in front of S3-compatible object stores and SFTP servers, taking advantage of password-protected share links and direct download URLs.

Why deploy AList on Hostinger VPS

Deploying AList on a Hostinger VPS gives you a private gateway to all of your cloud storage without sending traffic through a third-party service. Storage credentials stay on your VPS, share links live on a domain you control, and there are no per-user fees regardless of how many drives you connect or guests you invite. The lightweight Go binary uses minimal resources, so AList runs comfortably alongside your other applications, and persistent volumes ensure your storage configuration and database survive container updates and restarts.
