Every package Foxel depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Foxel is a self-hosted private cloud storage platform built for individuals and teams who want to centralize files across many storage backends and search them intelligently using AI. It unifies local disk, S3-compatible object storage, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Quark, Telegram, and AList through a single browser-based interface — eliminating the need to context-switch between a dozen different cloud apps.
What sets Foxel apart from typical file managers is its deep AI integration. It indexes content using configurable embedding models and stores vectors in Milvus Lite or Qdrant, letting you find images, PDFs, and documents with natural language queries rather than exact filename matches. The same embedding infrastructure powers an integrated AI agent that can perform VFS operations, fetch web content, and process files on your behalf directly from the interface.
Foxel also exposes its storage layer through standard protocols — an S3-compatible API, a WebDAV endpoint, and time-limited signed URLs — so existing tools like rclone, Cyberduck, and the AWS CLI continue to work without modification. A manifest-based plugin system allows runtime installation of `.foxpkg` bundles that extend both the Python API and the React frontend simultaneously, without requiring restarts or core code changes.
Deployment is straightforward via Docker Compose with a single container that bundles the Python backend, pre-built React frontend, and embedded vector database, making it an accessible choice for privacy-conscious users and teams who want full data sovereignty without infrastructure complexity.
