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

      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
