Selfhost alternative to sharedrop.io? (startrek.website)

I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

@icerunner_origin@startrek.website Sharedrop is open source and looks easily selfhosteable, I don't understand why you can run it on your own?

You don't understand because I didn't state why 😅 I have enough time and energy to set up and manage containerised applications. 20 years ago I might have had the drive to set up a local dev version, manage the dependencies and set up local init scripts, but not anymore.

@icerunner_origin@startrek.website Yeah, I get it. Maybe it is a bit trickier, but I see a Dockerfile in the repository, so maybe you need to build an image before deployment.

Sometimes people rely on third party infrastructure and that sucks for self hosting projects, but it seems this is not the case
