I see flake.nix, i install.
This is really impressive
I played around with copyparty and I have to say it is just awesome! The config is just fun to mess around with and everything feels snappy.
But I ran into an issue with FTP (probably just something I configured incorrectly) and could not find a discussion for that. I should probably start an issue on Github but as a non-developer I'm not sure how to do that in the correct way.
Edit: I managed to "solve" the problem. Apparently the user uploading to a subfolder over FTP needs the move permission for the folder above said subfolder.
This is incredible! I'm going to play around with this in my docker stack.
This looks great, nothing to check it out.
Wow.
This works crazy fast and performant. Keep up the incredible work!
Does anyone know if you can manage multiple devices from a single interface? If I had it on a couple of old phones and a laptop, for example.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Copyparty is a fileserver that I'm using for quick sharing of files and folders with others. "Managing multiple devices" is not what I would use it for, whatever you might mean by that. It does have one-way sync, if that's what you're looking for.
Can you point me to the WebDAV code? I’m interested to see your implementation. There are some parts of the spec that are ambiguous, and I like to see how those are implemented in different servers.

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
Hey! Just set this up today and it seems pretty good. Only issue I'm having is that is pretty slow to download (~2mb/s) what are some good ways to speed it up?
