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:
      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.

      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.

    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)

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

    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
