I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

I use Pairdrop. It can be deployed using docker.
That may well be the thing I’m looking for, thanks for the pointer!
Is LocalSend a viable option, even though it is not containerized?
Share files to nearby devices. Free, open-source, cross-platform.
This is what I need.
If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don’t need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.

I use Tailscale (Taildrop & Taildrive) to send files between my devices no matter where I am. It’s a very simple install (maybe 10 minutes total), and just works.
Sharedrop is self hostable.
Other, serverless solutions are
- Warpinator
- Localsend
- Croc
- Syncthing (for the organised background syncer in your life)
Needs Firebase to self host, though
I see. That sucks.
Nextcloud has file sharing i just use KDE Connect though.
KDE Connect is a great idea, thanks!
Snapdrop!
Thumbs up for snapdrop. I’ve tried a few alternatives, and this was the easiest to get working through a reverse proxy.
I also use microbin for sharing things not on my LAN.
Tried a few, settled on Pairdrop for myself.
An easy option is VaultWarden. Pretty painless to host AND it’ll store your passwords. There are probably better dedicated tools, but it’s functionality is pretty solid.
