Cloudreve is a production-grade, self-hosted file management system (v4) built with Go, Gin, and the ent ORM. It provides a full-featured cloud storage platform supporting multiple storage backends (local, S3, Aliyun OSS, Tencent COS, Huawei OBS, Qiniu, Upyun, OneDrive), WebDAV, WOPI for online Office editing, OAuth2, WebAuthn passkeys, full-text search via Meilisearch, thumbnail generation (vips, ffmpeg, LibreOffice), media metadata extraction (EXIF, ffprobe), and a background task queue for async operations like archive creation, remote downloads, and indexing. The architecture follows a layered pattern with dependency injection, a database-backed filesystem (DBFS) with navigators, an event hub for real-time file events, and a master-slave cluster for distributed nodes. The codebase is well-organized into reusable packages (e.g., pkg/request, pkg/queue, pkg/cache, pkg/auth) and includes a comprehensive admin panel for managing users, groups, storage policies, tasks, and nodes. While primarily an application, it also incorporates data engineering patterns like media metadata extraction and full-text indexing for user-facing features.
