After 993 days (~2 years and 8 months) since the first public commit, Kellnr just crossed 1,000 GitHub stars! 🦀

For anyone who hasn't run into it: Kellnr is a self-hosted Rust crate registry. Think a private crates.io you fully control. It supports private crates, docs.rs-style documentation generation, crates.io proxying/caching, SQLite & PostgreSQL, local or S3 storage, a web UI, and user/group access control.

A bit of perspective on how we got here:

• ⭐ 1,004 stars, 80 forks
• 👥 40 contributors
• 📝 2,212 commits (~15.6 per week, every week, for ~2.7 years)
• 📦 66 releases (~2 a month) — currently on v6.3.0
• 🔀 939 merged pull requests
• 💻 ~33k lines of Rust + ~20k lines of TypeScript/Vue

Huge thank you to everyone who starred the project, opened issues, and especially the contributors who sent PRs. This milestone is yours as much as mine. ❤️

If you've been wanting a private registry for your team or homelab, give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback, issues, and PRs always welcome!

Hi! I'm new to Swift and macOS development. I'm currently writing an app for me that allows me to backup my files and photos from icloud to NAS.

Getting the photos was easy, but I'm not sure how to get files stored in icloud drive. Do I need an Apple Developer account for the right permissions? If so, why can I download photos without it?
