I wanted a simple service to swap (large) files through anonymous private share links with friends. Instead of vibe coding a little one-off Freepod app, I figured instead I should try to just deploy an existing tool. Pingvin Share X came up on a search. Looked like a simple enough WeTransfer clone. This being mostly a freepod usability test, it needed to deploy there and freepod doesn't have persistent volumes, only object storage and a db. Pingvin defaults to storing files, including its sqlite db on a volume mount, but it does have support for S3. Database-wise it can use pretty much any db, but its db migrations are sqlite-only. It also has a nextjs frontend and node backend and requires a reverse proxy to serve both. It ships with a compose file, but Freepod doesn't support those. All this is to say, it wasn't going to deploy to freepod as-is. I figured I'd hand it off to the local clanker (Qwen-3.8-27b + OpenCode) and tell it to "just" deploy Pingvin to Freepod.
