I've recently been made aware of Copyparty, which is a web GUI for serving files, with great access control, and the main dev reported people have been running it over a Syncthing-synced directory without any issues. Has an Android app too. I don't have any need for sharing over HTTP right now, but if I did, that would be my go-to.
Documentation is impressive. I need to take a look. Thanks for sharing.
Copyparty is clearly labor of love, some UI choices are questionable, but the docs and the ease of setup are amazing
