# FileRise Wiki

FileRise is a self-hosted web file manager with WebDAV, sharing, and per-folder ACLs. It runs without a database and supports Docker or standard PHP web-server installs. Docker is the recommended deployment path; restrictive shared-hosting environments are best-effort.

## Project philosophy

FileRise is built around a few simple principles:

- **You own your data.** FileRise is self-hosted and designed to run on your infrastructure.
- **Privacy by default.** No telemetry, no tracking, and no required phone-home. FileRise can run fully offline.
- **Keep it simple.** No external database required. Metadata is stored locally in JSON.
- **Security and predictability.** Changes are made carefully with an emphasis on stable behavior, safe defaults, and clear documentation.
- **Sustainable development.** FileRise Core is open source and fully usable on its own. FileRise Pro is an optional paid add-on that funds continued development, maintenance, and support which while keeping Core healthy and actively maintained.
