WHY

Translating the FileGator project from PHP to Go while retaining user permissions, access lists, user login functionality, and the UI requires a structured approach. FileGator is a multi-user file manager with a Vue.js-based single-page frontend and a PHP backend using the Flysystem library for storage adapters and Symfony components for session management. The goal is to replicate the core functionality (user authentication, permissions, and UI integration) in Go, starting from scratch. Below, I’ll outline the plan and provide a foundational Go codebase to kickstart the project, focusing on the specified components.
