A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Looks like an alternative to Send

Yes it is. But people can't share files unless you allow it, or you create a user for them. I think everybody can share files using Send.

Anyone can share files using send.

Is this a good option for someone like me that wants to host simple files for friends to download? I have my own domain and subdomains set up already.

If this isn't a good option, can someone recommend me one? I'm looking for something simple to send files to people without a requirement for login info. Preferably something on docker.

I like to use FileBrowser simply because it has a good UI as well as a built-in share feature. So it doubles as the file browser I use for my server and for sharing any files with my friends

A great option that I personally use is FileShelter. It's super light and seems to perform very well.

Look up Picoshare - it's incredibly simple and thus very stable and easy to use.

This looks like the answer - thanks dude.
