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.

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

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.

Bookmarked, thanks. I'll have to try them all out at some point and see what works quickest. Obviously the storage aspect of the poster is a different ball game, but out and about this sounds useful

For such operations we use LocalSend.

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