Plans for a docker image?

Unable to download more than 6 files at once, most likely due to not being enough threads, makes all other requests unresponsive which makes the app feel very slow and sometimes unable to navigate directories while downloading many files at once.

Possible solutions might include:

• Adding a download queue on the frontend.
• Leaving at least 1 thread free from uploading and downloading so the backend is still responsive
• Creating new threads for more downloads/uploads

When trying to run after using automatic install, it give me the error of
downcat: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
which installing libssl-dev or openssl does not fix.

Especially when uploading large files on memory-limited systems, the backend will try allocating a lot of memory for the file and can panic if there is not enough memory, causing the upload to be incomplete and downcat to crash.

For some reason, the file's data is not being freed from memory until the whole file has been written to disk.

Possible solutions for this issue:

• Freeing memory while parts of the file is written
• Limiting the request so only a certain amount can be in memory at one time.

Unfortunately, I've tried to implement these solutions but I'm too dumb to solve them :)

A build option that will fully disable self-update and references to self-updating.
This is necessary to make a docker build (#1) as self-updating won't be available in the docker build.
