## ✨ Core Features
- **Unified File Management**: Centralize management of files distributed across different storage backends.
- **Pluggable Storage Backends**: Utilizes an extensible adapter pattern to easily integrate various storage types.
- **Semantic Search**: Supports natural language search for content within unstructured data like images and documents.
- **Built-in File Preview**: Preview images, videos, PDFs, Office documents, text, and code files directly without downloading.
- **Permissions and Sharing**: Supports public or private sharing links for easy file distribution.
- **Task Processing Center**: Supports asynchronous task processing, such as file indexing and data backups, without impacting the main application.
### 📁 Unified File Management
Centralize management of files distributed across different storage backends. Browse, upload, download, move, copy, and delete — all through a single, unified interface.
### 🔌 Pluggable Storage Backends
Utilizes an extensible adapter pattern to easily integrate various storage types:
| Category | Adapters |
|---|---|
| **Standard Protocols** | Local, S3-compatible, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP |
| **Cloud Drives** | Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Quark |
| **Special** | Telegram, AList, Foxel-to-Foxel |
### 🔍 AI-Powered Semantic Search
Go beyond filename matching — search by natural language descriptions to find content within images, documents, and other unstructured data. Powered by configurable embedding providers and vector databases (Milvus, Qdrant).
### 👁️ Built-in File Preview
Preview images, videos, PDFs, Office documents, text, and code files directly in the browser — no downloads required.
### 🔐 Permissions & Access Control
A full-featured **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)** system to secure your data:
- **Built-in Roles**: Three system roles — **Admin** (full access), **User** (configurable access), and **Viewer** (read-only).
- **Custom Roles**: Create tailored roles with fine-grained system and adapter permissions.
- **Path-based Rules**: Define read / write / delete / share permissions per path, with support for **wildcards**, **regex patterns**, and **priority-based rule ordering**.
- **Audit Logging**: Every user action is recorded with full traceability (user, IP, method, status, duration).
### 🔗 Sharing
Generate public or password-protected share links with configurable expiration dates. Recipients can browse shared files and folders without logging in.
### 🧩 Plugin System
Extend Foxel's capabilities through a manifest-based plugin architecture. Load React frontend components and custom backend routes at runtime, without modifying the core codebase.
### ⚙️ Task Processing Center
Run asynchronous background tasks — file indexing, data backups, scheduled jobs — without impacting the main application.
### 🤖 AI Agent
An integrated AI agent with built-in tools for VFS operations, web fetching, and file processing — bringing intelligent automation directly into your cloud storage.
### 🌐 Protocol Mappings
Access your files through familiar protocols:
- **S3 API** — S3-compatible endpoint for programmatic access
- **WebDAV** — Mount as a network drive in your OS file manager
- **Direct Links** — Temporary signed URLs for direct file access
## 🛠️ Tech Stack
| Layer | Technologies |

| **Frontend** | React 19, TypeScript, Vite, Ant Design |
| **Auth** | JWT (OAuth2), bcrypt |
| **Vector DB** | Milvus Lite / Server, Qdrant |
| **Deployment** | Docker, Gunicorn + Uvicorn |
| **Package Managers** | uv (Python), Bun (JS) |
## 🚀 Quick Start
Using Docker Compose is the most recommended way to start Foxel.
1. **Create Data Directories**
### 1. Create Data Directories
Create a `data` folder for persistent data:
Create a `data` folder for persistent data:
```bash
mkdir -p data/db
mkdir -p data/mount
chmod 777 data/db data/mount
```
```bash
mkdir -p data/db data/mount
chmod 777 data/db data/mount
```
2. **Download Docker Compose File**
### 2. Download Docker Compose File
```bash
curl -L -O https://github.com/DrizzleTime/Foxel/raw/main/compose.yaml
```
```bash
curl -L -O https://github.com/DrizzleTime/Foxel/raw/main/compose.yaml
```
After downloading, it is **strongly recommended** to modify the environment variables in the `compose.yaml` file to ensure security:
After downloading, it is **strongly recommended** to modify the environment variables in the `compose.yaml` file to ensure security:
- Modify `SECRET_KEY` and `TEMP_LINK_SECRET_KEY`: Replace the default keys with randomly generated strong keys.
