THE PRACTICAL QUESTIONS / 05

BEFORE YOU
MAKE IT
YOURS.

A few questions before you make it yours.

01What do I need to run CubyCrate?

CubyCrate runs on Docker Engine 24+ and Docker Compose 2.20+ with official multi-arch linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 images. Deployment requires exposing port 8383 and binding a persistent volume to /app/data for SQLite metadata and configuration.

02Can I use local disks and S3-compatible storage?

Yes. Administrators can configure local host storage (NVMe/SATA drives) or S3-compatible object storage (AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2). These are storage choices, not automatic replication across nodes.

03How can I share files?

Share My Storage items with registered users using Viewer or Editor permissions, or generate public share links with optional password protection and expiration.

04Does Organization have separate team permissions?

No. Organization is a single shared root directory for authenticated users to collaborate, without separate department spaces or granular group permissions.

05What license does CubyCrate use?

CubyCrate is licensed under GNU AGPLv3 with Section 13 network copyleft, ensuring users interacting over a network retain access to the complete source code.
