Is this a good option for someone like me that wants to host simple files for friends to download? I have my own domain and subdomains set up already.
If this isn't a good option, can someone recommend me one? I'm looking for something simple to send files to people without a requirement for login info. Preferably something on docker.
A great option that I personally use is FileShelter. It's super light and seems to perform very well.
I like to use FileBrowser simply because it has a good UI as well as a built-in share feature. So it doubles as the file browser I use for my server and for sharing any files with my friends
may not meet your requirements but have you taken a look at https://wormhole.app ?
Looks interesting but I'd prefer to self host it. I tried Nextcloud and had nothing but problems so I'm on the lookout for something simpler.
Very generous with the 10 GB limit though.
Fair point, but do note that https://wormhole.app is just a web-client for the wormhole protocol. There's a reference implementation and there's - personally - a much better go-based implementation (wormhole-william) that also has a few clients built using its API:
Thanks, I'll check these out when I can
Look up Picoshare - it's incredibly simple and thus very stable and easy to use.
This looks like the answer - thanks dude.
