A hosting service from the browser, because why not. Try it at hostyoself.com.

\n\n## See it in action\n\nHere's an example where I use [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com) to host itself. I use `wget` to download [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com) and then host [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com) from [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com): [hostyoself.com/hostyoself/](https://hostyoself.com/hostyoself/). Happy 9th Anniversary [Inception](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception) :cake:!\n\n![Inception](/static/inception.gif)\n\n\n## Host from the browser\n\nOpen [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com) and drag and drop a folder, or select a file. Your browser will host the files!\n\n\n## Host from the command line\n\nYou can host files directly from the terminal!\n\n```\n$ hostyoself host\nhttps://hostyoself.com/confidentcat/\n```\n\nNow if you have a file in your folder `README.md` you can access it with the public URL `https://hostyoself.com/confidentcat/README.md`, directly from your computer!\n\nIf you're on a Mac, you can install with Homebrew:\n\n```\nbrew tap schollz/homebrew https://github.com/schollz/homebrew-tap.git\nbrew install hostyoself\n```\n\nOr you can host your current directory using Docker:\n\n```\n$ docker run -v `pwd`:/data schollz/hostyoself\n```\n\n## Run your own relay\n\nWant to run your own relay? Its easy. \n\n```\n$ hostyoself relay --url https://yoururl\n```\n\n## FAQ\n\n\n**How do I start web hosting?** You will need to setup port forwarding, a dynamic DNS, name registration, MySQL, PHP, Apache and take a online course in Javascript. \n\nJust *kidding*! You don't need any of that crap. Just goto [hostyoself.com](https://hostyoself.com) drag and drop a folder, or select a file. That's literally it. Now you can host a website from your laptop or your phone or your smartwatch or your toaster.\n\n**How is this possible?** When the server you point at gets a request for a webpage, the server turns back and asks *you* for that content and will use what you provide for the original request.\n\n**Seriously, how is this possible?** The relay uses websockets in your browser to process GET commands.\n\n**Won't my website disappear when I close my browser?** Yep! There is a [command-line tool](https://github.com/schollz/hostyoself#host-from-the-command-line) that doesn't require a browser so it can run in the background if you need that. But yes, if your computer turns off then your site is down. Welcome to the joys of hosting a site on the internet.\n\n**Won't I have to reload my browser if I change a file?** Yep! Welcome to the joys of Javascript.\n\n**What's the largest file I can host using this?** `¯\\_(ツ)_/¯`\n\n**Should I use this to host a website?** Dear god yes.\n\n**Does this use AI or blockchain?** Sure, why not. \n\n**Does it scale?** Horizontally, or vertically? Probably neither!\n\n**What inspired this?** [beaker browser](https://beakerbrowser.com/), [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/), [localhost.run](http://localhost.run/), [inlets.dev](https://github.com/alexellis/inlets), Parks and Recreation.\n\n**What's the point of this?** You can host a website! You can share a file! Anything you want, directly from your browser!\n\n## Develop\n\n```\n$ git clone https://github.com/schollz/hostyoself\n$ cd hostyoself\n$ go generate -v -x\n$ go build -v\n```\n\n## License \n\nMIT\n","has_starred","hub_user","immutable_tags_settings",{"_70":11,"_71":72},"enabled","rules",[73],".*","is_automated","permissions",{"_77":17,"_78":11,"_79":11},"read","write","admin","user","storage_size",57440389,"orgData","recentTags",[86],{"_87":40,"_88":89,"_90":91,"_92":93,"_94":95,"_45":113,"_114":89,"_115":29,"_116":51,"_52":117,"_118":119,"_120":104,"_121":113,"_122":61,"_123":17},"content_type","creator",966772,"full_size",13257082,"id",62205560,"images",[96],{"_97":98,"_99":100,"_101":102,"_103":104,"_105":106,"_107":108,"_109":102,"_110":-5,"_111":91,"_58":61,"_112":-5},"architecture","amd64","digest","sha256:8661c1f06743546bd02b0118e877612122b814b552c6f3daa11f0d53a6b9524f","features","","last_pulled","2026-09-19T19:42:42.929561672Z","last_pushed","2020-05-13T23:07:43Z","os","linux","os_features","os_version","size","variant","2020-05-13T23:07:42.485909Z","last_updater","last_updater_username","media_type","latest","repository",7403313,"tag_last_pulled","tag_last_pushed","tag_status","v2","sbxKitMetadata","isPotentialSpam","isHubSbxKitsEnabled","displaySecurityMetadata","tagAttestations","tagsHaveAttestations",[],"routes/_layout.r.$namespace.$reponame.tags",{"_34":133,"_140":141,"_129":150,"_151":11},{"_36":134,"_38":135,"_41":42,"_43":31,"_44":11,"_45":46,"_47":48,"_49":136,"_52":31,"_28":29,"_53":54,"_55":40,"_56":57,"_58":59,"_60":61,"_62":-5,"_63":57,"_64":65,"_66":11,"_67":29,"_68":137,"_74":11,"_75":139,"_80":29,"_81":82},[],[40],[51],{"_70":11,"_71":138},[73],{"_77":17,"_78":11,"_79":11},"tags",{"_142":59,"_143":-5,"_144":-5,"_145":146},"count","next","previous","results",[147],{"_87":40,"_88":89,"_90":91,"_92":93,"_94":148,"_45":113,"_114":89,"_115":29,"_116":51,"_52":117,"_118":119,"_120":104,"_121":113,"_122":61,"_123":17},[149],{"_97":98,"_99":100,"_101":102,"_103":104,"_105":106,"_107":108,"_109":102,"_110":-5,"_111":91,"_58":61,"_112":-5},[],"canDeleteTags","actionData","errors"]
