I made a video about copyparty, the selfhosted fileserver I've been making for the past 5 years.

The main focus of the video is the features, but it also touches upon configuration. Was hoping it would be easier to follow than the readme on github... not sure how well that went, but hey :D

This video is also available to watch on the copyparty demo server, as a high-quality AV1 file and a lower-quality h264.

I looked at the comparison for Seafile as that's the one I'm most familiar with. In my opinion Seafile's greatest strength is its encryption, but in your comparison you seem to see this as a negative as I assume this bullet refers to the encryption? "isolated on-disk file hierarchy, incompatible with other software. much worse than nextcloud in that regard"

Sometimes I feel so new to setting up my own digital ecosystem because I look at a thing and think "that's so cool" but struggle to imagine it at home. So could someone help me understand.

This would be a replacement for something like Google Drive or Proton Drive? The actions I would use this for would be:

  • sending files to friends
  • managing a collection of files like PDFs, music, ISO's that could be accessible by my friends (or just my household)

So I would spin this up on my NAS or my main PC and replace those services and accomplish those actions using this software?

Are there other services or actions I'm missing? Am I misunderstanding the premise entirely?

I think Copyparty would be great for that purpose. The only thing you're missing is a way to expose it to the internet, such as a public IP or some tunnel

Oh my god, this seems really good and closer to what I want than anything yet. Been looking for something to replace Nextcloud and found nothing good so I might take a look at this.

Just curious, why did you replace nextcloud? I'm looking into transitioning from my current file server, and I've mostly heard only good things and not NextCloud.

Any way to run the server as a docker container?

Can we have Gopher support?

[-] tripflag@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

I was thinking of that!! But then I realized that even Firefox removed gopher support by now, so the joke was dead on arrival :P
