introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server
-
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
This video is also available to watch on the copyparty demo server, as a high-quality AV1 file and a lower-quality h264.
nice project! I'll check it out! I've also really enjoyed your replies here. it's obvious you really know your stuff. thanks!

Holy shit this is so unbelievably full featured it's not even funny. This is going to rattle some big names. I wonder how long till they try to shut it down because it's better than anything commercially available.

This is me browsing slrpnk.net using the voyager app,on iOS latest version on iPhone 14 Pro, it then opens it in whatever built in player the app uses. Other versions work fine though. This app has me excited as I consider starting self hosting!
awesome thanks, should be able to reproduce it then

wrote last edited by [email protected]I haven't even tried it yet, but just from the video you can tell it's going to be insanely good. I'm so impressed.
It's the first bit of software I've seen in a long time where I took one look and immediately thought "Fuck me, I need that!"
I use Unraid for my NAS server and just on the off-chance I checked the Unraid community 'app store' and someone's already created a Docker definition for it, published just today! The hype is real
I'll be giving this a shot

Is there a way to help translate the UI.
I would like to help translate it into Danish.
Would also be willing to help translate the UI.

Also, it’s like Wordpress, growing new slow features you’ll never need with each new release.
They recently recieved a "Blauer Engel" certificate for nextcloud-server. Iirc that seal requires the user to be able to choose what he wants. So new features are OK but they have to be optional.
That certificate is handed out by a german government Institution. And very recently they started handing it out to software too, with nextcloud beeing the first BIG reciever. -

Thanks for making the video but also for providing non Youtube link. Maybe there is a PeerTube server that would enjoy hosting it.

Thank you so very much. I needed to transfer some files locally yesterday and didn't have a NAS set up. So I thought I would quickly set up a samba share on my pop-os media server so my spouse (windows) and I (mint) could swap/store files on the fly in the future. It took me 25 minutes and I almost gave up because my config file was having issues.
This looks sooooo much nicer. May every road rise up to meet you
For such operations we use LocalSend.

OMG I just posted this to lemmy and saw it had already been posted. Great work! Amazing video!!

Ok this is too damn cool. Will be checking it out soon, but moving to a new apartment this week so I probably shouldn't dive into new distractions just yet...

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"

Everyone loves CP. Tell all your friends about CP.
Every single time I have seen one of your comments, you have disappointed me
-
Look cool! I think you should consider putting a screenshot of the UI somewhere near the top of the README
There is a link to a live demo pretty close to the top.

That's for the recommendation. That could be useful as well!

You made this on your phone on the bus ride to and from work.
I cleaned the cat box yesterday and considered that an accomplishment.
Fuck.
Congrats on the cat box cleaning!

Well done! This is exactly what I've been looking for! And it's fun to use and has an aesthetic that reminds me of browsing ftp servers back in the day. And these themes?! I love the whimsy mixed with actual usability.
And its a damn good file server so far: fast, easy to use, makes reasonable security choices, and accessible in the ways I want (rclone mount)

I have a hunch that the true answer, to be honest, is "no" -- at least with the current UI as it is. I've come to terms with not being the best at making intuitive user interfaces, so I went all-in on making it poweruser-friendly and efficiency instead.
Yeah, there's the android app for sending files to the server, and it'll always send files to the same folder, so that part should be pretty solid. But actually grabbing files from the server, perhaps not so much. Not sure I'd risk it, but I'll leave the decision to you hehe
I'm not aware of any user-friendly android/iOS apps for connecting to a webdav / ftps / sftp server, but if those exist, then that would probably have been a good option!
Been using DAVx5 on Android with it (you don't set it up as a full account, just a WebDAV mount) and the full exported filesystem shows up in the android file browser (as a remote mount like google drive)

Put out some in-depth docker instructions and this will be common use in a month. Good work.

I'll have to say that this is about one of the most detailed instructions I've seen, replete with copious screenshots. I'm going to have to give it a go just based on that. LOL

I would add PairDrop to your list to have bookmarked. It's completely web-based so no download required and thus fully cross-platform. It also works across different networks (i.e. over the internet) by pairing devices or creating a room. Basically Apple AirDrop, but universal and on steroids.
