I use Pairdrop. It can be deployed using docker.

Is LocalSend a viable option, even though it is not containerized?
Share files to nearby devices. Free, open-source, cross-platform.
I use Tailscale (Taildrop & Taildrive) to send files between my devices no matter where I am. It’s a very simple install (maybe 10 minutes total), and just works.
Nextcloud has file sharing i just use KDE Connect though.
Sharedrop is self hostable.
Other, serverless solutions are
- Warpinator
- Localsend
- Croc
- Syncthing (for the organised background syncer in your life)
An easy option is VaultWarden. Pretty painless to host AND it'll store your passwords. There are probably better dedicated tools, but it's functionality is pretty solid.
I saw sharrr the other day which apparently can be self hosted and uses cryptography / expiracy / single download / multi part downloads to make it hard to find a compete file if an attacker even has host access, it also encrypts the file prior to uploading to the server and only you on the client side have the encryption.
That said, this is all according to the architecture of the service, not sure about security in practice.
@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
