+**12.01.2021: Fling has moved to the attic**
+
+Fling was a good learning experiment for a non-trivial React app with a REST
+backend. However, it never really got any traction and I'm not using it anymore.
+Other projects are more important to me and maintaining Fling does not make any
+sense. As of now docker containers are deleted and the artifacts are not
+distributed anymore. You are free to fork and build your own version but no more
+work will be done in this repository.
+
+Alternatives:
+- If you are looking for mature self-hosted file sharing solution,
+  [ownCloud](https://owncloud.com/) is in many ways similar to Fling and then
+  some.
+- If you want an even simpler solution for sharing files over http,
+  [dirl](https://github.com/arminfriedl/dirl) might meet your needs.
