AnonFiles or AnonUpload is a simple, databaseless PHP file uploader. It’s built with privacy in mind, by not showing the direct filename used. AnonFiles is designed to work anywhere! Nginx, Apache, Lightspeed, anything will work! No rewrites, just pure PHP. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install AnonUpload on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
💡Note:
This guide works perfectly with the latest AnonUpload v1.0.0release.
