I’ve got a server, a friends got a server, what’s the best way to share stuff between the two?
If you’re wanting to share all files, many of the methods already mentioned work well. If you’re wanting to share specific files, CopyParty is a good way to go.
The documentation gives me yt-dlp PTSD 😶
Absolutely this OP. Have a quick watch of the feature showcase video and you will see just how perfect this is for your needs
Yeah this right here looks exactly what I was looking for.
Been transferring files for sometime over a Wireguard connection, but it’s a bit of a pain to use so I’ve been looking for something better.
Appreciate the tip @mike_wooskey@lemmy.thewooskeys.com
Rsync
You could do tailscale shared nodes and share just your jellyfin servers that way.
Just a feeling I get, but open directories and hoarders are going to become more popular.
Exposing it over HTTP ensures all can access, but that’s my best solution. I don’t know what your intentions are, or what your pain-points are, or what you’re willing to deal with, or what your data is and if it poses a risk to you personally to have it exposed.
SFTP or WebDAV would work.
Yeah, forwarding a port to a server with SFTP allows you both to have two-way links. Have done this with some of my friends as well.
Sneakernet via a HDD is also damn helpful for initial bulk transfers.
Define share?
Keep all files in sync between two points?
Enable ad-hoc access to all files, or a subset?
You could also set up a jellyfin (for media) or gameyfin (for games) container, expose that to the internet and give them credentials.
We use Tailscale to share between accounts.
But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.
Sync thing has been great and convenient for me. Use tailscale, zero tier or just raw wire guard to see each other
LAN party!! You have the optimal excuse to make one happen ;)
May as well crack out DC++ and start heading your files.
Maybe not the best place to ask but, who’s down for similar? The how can be discussed
For large volumes of data, nothing beats shipping a large external drive (with a fast interface) from location to location.
If you want to run a mirror, rsync over ssh is one of the simplest ways.
SFTP or FTPS with FXP
FXP
Oh wow, there’s a name I ain’t heard in a while.
