Heard about his on the self hosted podcast and just installed it and it works great. Dont use the given compose file just make your own with the linuxserver image. Here's mine and it works over tailscale and through my reverse proxy.

version: "3"
services:
  snapdrop:
    image: "linuxserver/snapdrop"
    
    volumes:
      - /nasdata/docker/volumes/snapdrop/:/data
    
    ports:
      - "8090:80"
      - "4430:443"

I actually like PairDrop better, as it allows also linking devices that fail to find themselves on the network (for example if you run it behind a reverse proxy). It is obviously pretty similar though.

Just looked at that and might have to try that. had a couple issues with devcvices finding eachother at first, but a reboot of thee container fixed it. Might be handy for sending my gf something when out and about.

I just heard about this on the podcast and wanted to try it but pairdrop may be better. Thanks

You should check out pairdrop too.
Same underlying software with some great enhancements for security
Here is their Github

This seems similar to KDE Connect? Am i missing something?

[–] curioushom@lemmy.one 4 points 3 years ago (1 children)

It's quite a different use case, it's meant to facilitate wireless transfer between any device through a browser tab without having to have any local software installed first. So think more like sharing full resolution photo to a friend's device who is connected to the same wifi as you by just both of you opening the same url, snapdrop.net or pairdrop.net (fork with more features) or your own selfhosted url.

Ah, thank you! That makes sense.

The browser has to support WebRTC though.

😐😐😐

[–] lupec@lemmy.lpcha.im 2 points 3 years ago

Hah, just heard about it on the same place as well. I'm floored I'd never heard of it before, such a neat implementation. Planning on giving it a go sometime soon.

[–] binwiederhier@discuss.ntfy.sh 2 points 3 years ago

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[–] float@feddit.de 1 points 3 years ago

I tried it a few times but was so slow (even in a local network), I ended up cancelling the transfer every single time. I prefer Syncthing which does require some basic setup though.

[–] Olly1240@feddit.it 1 points 3 years ago

I woul recommend LANDrop, apart from some fiddling with my unusual firewall, it has apps for whatever phone os, sharing menu integration on mobile, works flawlessly locally

[–] Wiredfire@kayb.ee 1 points 3 years ago

I’ve always found snapdrop very very inconsistent. When it works is amazing, but it often as not doesn’t see other devices.

LocalSend, on the other hand, is excellent. It’s an app so needs to be installed but it available for about every platform desktop and mobile and is my go-to now.

[–] Avalanched@kbin.social 1 points 3 years ago

I didn't know I needed this, I'm going to set this up right away Thanks for sharing!
