# 🌥️ Litecloud
Your files, your server, your privacy. Litecloud is a lightweight, secure cloud storage solution that you can host yourself. Upload, organize, and share files without compromising your privacy or depending on big tech companies.
## What makes Litecloud special?
**Privacy-first**: Your files are encrypted with military-grade AES-256-GCM encryption before they ever touch the disk
**Lightning fast**: Built with Rust for maximum performance and safety
**Developer-friendly**: Clean REST API lets you build custom apps and integrations
**Dead simple**: One Docker command and you're running your own cloud

- **Memory safety without garbage collection** — no mysterious crashes or memory leaks, hence safer handling of encrypted files.
- **Insanely good concurrency** — handle thousands of simultaneous uploads without breaking a sweat
