introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server (www.youtube.com)

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.

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.

I want something with a permission model that works the same when accessed over a network share (SMB, ideally NFS) and access over a web interface. Ideally it would have a Mac File Provider sync client and whatever the Windows equivalent is called as well.

Nextcloud is fine but it’s not that.

Nextcloud is like Windows 95, it works great when you install it then it just keeps getting slower as you fill it with content

Also, it’s like Wordpress, growing new slow features you’ll never need with each new release.

I replaced nextCloud’s file sharing with Syncthing just recently, as I found myself only synchronising between two computers (one desktop, one smartphone) anyway. :-)
