As the title what is the best file sharing service than can be self-hostable? Need encryption

EDIT : To be more precise I want something as an alternative to Wetransfer not Google Drive, something to get a link to dl files

Nextcloud :)

Best of luck with encryption on there. Everyone I know tell me NOT to use nextclouds encryption.

cmeu@lemmy.world on 06 Nov 12:47 collapse

Why?

It’s supposed to be extremely buggy as I’ve heard. Can’t comment much more on that, except fpr this snippet. Maybe it’s fixed now, maybe even for long time, but I wouldn’t trust it just like that after what I’ve heard.

I recently checked up on the status of the built in E2EE in NC when deciding what sort of encryption I wanted for data at rest on a self-hosted system. People are still complaining about data loss and horrible bugs. I’ve been burned before and stay well away from that half-baked implementation. I just use Cryptomator instead.

On the other hand NC supports AI implementation, there’s machine learning that sets EVERY SINGLE MAIL to important in the mail app and the ActivitiyPub based Nextcloud Social have almost worked for many years so that’s nice.

^ this I selfhost nextcloud behind cloudflare tunnels. Super easy to set up and ssl is handled by cloudflare.

Letting Cloudflare MIM your Nextcloud instance doesn’t seem private or secure.

File sharing between devices you own or file sharing between you and other people?

I’ve edit the post

ShortN0te@lemmy.ml on 06 Nov 11:51 next collapse

What do you mean with encryption? Does it need to be transport encrypted, end to end encrypted or is encryption at rest (when the server is offline) good enough?

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml on 06 Nov 17:57 collapse

End to end to be sure that I (the server admin) cannot see the content of the files

This works really well. The readme says “local network” at the beginning, but it works across the internet by sharing a link.

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml on 06 Nov 17:57 collapse

Ohh I’m going to recheck it

Anafabula@discuss.tchncs.de on 06 Nov 12:28 next collapse

There is a fork of Firefox Send

github.com/timvisee/send

If you already selfhost Bitwarden/Vaultwarden, you can use Bitwarden Send too.

I loved FFSend. When it died, I ended up standing up a GOKAPI server, as it was the closest alternative I could find at the time: github.com/Forceu/Gokapi

Definitely not as nice as FFSend though. I may have to give that fork a try instead.

foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml on 06 Nov 17:58 collapse

Gonna look it up

Yeah but no sorry, I don’t want a peer to peer service but temporarily upload files to my server and then serve them to users after
