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?

I use Pairdrop. It can be deployed using docker.
That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!
Nextcloud has file sharing i just use KDE Connect though.
I also just use KDE connect on windows to exchange needed files or clipboard. Devices need to be on same LAN or VPN during exchange. Pausing PC media during calls is a nice bonus.
For syncing photo gallery and Obsidian I use Syncthing.
KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!
Snapdrop!
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.
Sharedrop is self hostable.
Other, serverless solutions are
- Warpinator
- Localsend
- Croc
- Syncthing (for the organised background syncer in your life)
Needs Firebase to self host, though
I see. That sucks.
Is LocalSend a viable option, even though it is not containerized?
Share files to nearby devices. Free, open-source, cross-platform.
@[email protected] 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.
@[email protected] 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
