Recommendations based on personal experience, please.

I have used a self-hosted Zend.to server for end to end encrypted async large file transfers with an easy to use web ui (sending files to others, and inviting others to send large files to me) for years now.

Aside from nextcloud, are there good options for doing this?

Requirements:

  • FOSS
  • not open-to-world
  • easy install/maintenance (no docker, pypi, yarn, etc.)
  • friendly to non-tech users in corporate environments

@neil I ran Seafile for a while. It ticks all the boxes you mention (assuming you consider docker compose counts as easy installation!), although it does a whole load of other stuff too and so might be a bit overkill for what you want.

@hedders Thanks! I've heard of it, so I'll take another look. Docker is out, but there might be a manual installation available.

@neil Oops. For some reason I missed the bit about no docker in your post. There is a manual install, but it's a bit more complex.

(What's your aversion to docker, out of interest? I've found it life-changing.)

I don't understand it well enough, mainly. And the times I've used it, I've almost always run into networking issues that I haven't been able to resolve.

@neil docker is really worth learning.

Server application development is increasingly moving to it because it ensures the development environment and production are the same and it makes it easy to spin up the environments you need.

What were you trying to do from a network perspective? The point of docker compose is to setup the private network and bridge to the hosts network, so its weird it wouldn't work
