Some settings use human readable byte sizes. Here is a table of the byte sizes and their human readable counterparts.

Discord webhooks are a simple way to get "notifications" sent to a text channel in your Discord server. Zipline offers a way to send notifications to a Discord webhook whenever a file is uploaded or a URL is shortened.

Discord Webhooks

External links are links configured to show up on the bottom of the sidebar.

External Links

If you have enabled HTTP Webhooks within the dashboard settings, Zipline will send a POST request to the URL with the file/url information.

HTTP Webhooks

Some settings use human readable relative time. Here is a table of the time units and their human readable counterparts.

Milliseconds

Passkeys are a way to authenticate users without requiring them to enter a password. Instead, users can click "Login with a passkey" and follow their device prompts to authenticate.

Passkeys

Zipline is currently being maintained by me (@diced) and only me. New releases can come out frequently or take a while depending on my schedule. If a new minor/patch release (4.x.x) is not out, you can build from source or use the trunk tag on docker for the latest commit version.

Releases

Variables can be used in Discord Webhook messages and the view route to customize the message with dynamic content.

Variables

View Routes on Zipline allow you to customize the appearance of files when they are viewed through the browser. By this we mean that instead of just showing the raw file and letting the browser handle it, the file is rendered in a more "user-friendly" way.

View Routes
