Looking for a file sharing app (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Hello looking for a file sharing app, preferable that I can run in a docker container with a UI that displays for file recipients over a reverse proxy.

edit: thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

Have you looked into Nextcloud?

I have not, I will give it a look - thank you!

[–] Sleeping@programming.dev 3 points 3 years ago

No problem! :)

Nextcloud and Owncloud both allow you to share any file you store in them.

the other day I spent probably 30 minutes comparing solutions to share files between two machines over the network. I ended up just running this Python line...

python3 -m http.server 8080

[–] testman@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 years ago

this is a awesome trick that more people should know about

there is also solution for the opposite problem, when you have two machines and you have no idea what is in between them:
https://github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
initiating transfer is as easy as copy-pasting or re-typing a short phrase
and it will find the best path to transfer files. If they are on same network, it will transfer locally. If they are on the opposite sides of the internet, transfer will go through proxy server, etc.

I do not have any experience with it, but I've heard that SeaFile is an alternative to Nextcloud that you can look into.

[–] dan@upvote.au 1 points 3 years ago

Seafile is good, and has way better performance than Nextcloud. Rather than trying to do "everything", it does one thing (files) and does it well.

[–] Shortcake@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago

check out wormhole and some selfhosted options like pairdrop

[–] hib 2 points 3 years ago

Something simpler than some of the other self hosted drive apps (nextcloud and seafile) that I like is sftpgo

Do you need access control? If not, a simple Apache/Nginx directory listing is nice and easy, just drop your files in your webroot and you're set. h5ai is a nice addition if you go that route.

If you need access control (or at least some sort of obfuscated URLs), Nextcloud is a good option. Pretty easy to get up and running, and there's a ton of plugins available.

Used sharry, but I found picoshare easier to setup and run, which is what I am running now.

Edit: these are pretty simple and often offer only upload an requesting (files from others)

I’m using resilio (btsync in the past). It’s not free (FOSS), and not free(need pay for pro license). However, it’s P2P structure is straightforward to me
