slcl
Simple and lightweight web cloud storage.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is slcl actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. slcl is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at codeberg.org — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What slcl actually does
slcl is a web-based file manager designed to provide simple cloud storage through a browser interface. Written in C, it allows you to handle remote file transfers and organisation without a heavy runtime environment. As a lightweight self-hosted storage tool, it serves as a minimalist alternative to larger cloud synchronisation suites.
Best fit: This is a suitable choice if you need a low-overhead, resource-efficient file manager to run on constrained hardware or minimal server configurations.
Worth knowing: The project lacks tagged releases and has a zero star count, indicating very early maturity, minimal community testing, and a complete absence of historical updates. You should also verify the AGPL-3.0 copyleft requirements before integrating it into your environment.
Deployment notes
Being written in C, it typically runs as a compiled binary that will need a reverse proxy like Nginx for TLS termination and persistent disk storage mounted for your files. You will also want to check whether it requires a local database or uses a flat-file structure for metadata.
