What is Penombre?

Penombre is an alternative to Google Drive mainly, without the complexity of Nextcloud. A single container handles everything including auth (with oauth, passkey and 2fa), volume mounts (for your syncthing data) and shared drives. Configure SMTP for better security, but optional. Also runs as a multi-container app if you need the compute power and a distributed database.
