Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Digirecord hard to install?

Digirecord is easy to deploy—use Docker for a one-command setup, or follow step-by-step guides for PHP/MySQL on traditional web servers (Apache/Nginx). Documentation covers both options, making it accessible to users with basic server experience.

? Is it a good alternative to WeTransfer?

Yes! Digirecord offers core features like simple uploads and shareable links but as self-hosted, you retain full data ownership. It lacks WeTransfer’s global CDN but provides better privacy and customizable upload limits (no arbitrary SaaS restrictions).

? Is Digirecord completely free?

Digirecord is open-source under the MIT License—100% free to use, modify, and self-host. All features are available out of the box with no premium tiers or paywalls.
