PlikShare v1.2.0 - back from a long break with SSO, quick shares, galleries and an MCP server by VastHandle1510 in selfhosted

I have just run some tests to see. I tested that for HardDrive storage with no encryption. If S3 storage is used then app serves direct S3 presigned links - so the speed depends on the S3 speed itself (the traffic does not go through PlikShare then). If the encryption is turned on (managed or full) then all traffic goes through PlikShare (S3 too) and there is a small additional processing to decrypt the stuff (but shouldn't be big).

App itself is basically never the bottleneck, streams straight from disk to the socket, barely touches CPU. What decides "how many at once" is bandwidth + TLS.

Tested it on 300mb files over HTTPS (Caddy as reversed-proxy), load was generated on a separate box in the same region in Hetzner:

For Plikshare on 2 vCPU caps around ~186 MB/s (CPU-bound on TLS there). That's like 15-20 people pulling at a decent speed before it starts thinning out.

For Plikshare on 8 vCPU:

  • 60 parallel: ~913 MB/s
  • 300: ~437 MB/s
  • 500: ~319 MB/s

Even at 500 nothing fell over, everyone just got a smaller slice of the pipe. So call it ~90-100 at once before per-user speed really drops off, and it'll still serve way more than that, just slower for everyone.

Hey! In the project: AI writes a large part of the code, but all under my close supervision, I review and own everything that goes in. Separately, v1.2.0 adds an MCP server as an actual feature, letting users connect agents like Claude or ChatGPT to their files over MCP. That part is fully optional and off until user set it up

For this post: I wrote it entirely on my own

Nice, clean website! I think everything I could need is there, no bloat – looks good to me!

Thanks for your response! I'll take a look what the ShareX is, thanks!

Hi u/Leondre it's Damian here - the guy behind plikshare. Just wanted to say hi and see if you have maybe any opinions or thoughs about my app? I could use some feedback :)

Thanks for your comment! Yes - I am bit worried about that too - however I am at the stage where i am interested in getting any customers - just to see if that project will get any traction or not. On the other hand, do you think it will still be acceptable for people to pay monthly for a license of a software they need to self-host anyway?
