Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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!

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

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:

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.
