This is awesome. The readme is fun as heck and I just want to use the software based on that. I see nothing but complaints about nextcloud and others on r/selfhosted. I can't wait to try this out.

No deps is great, but what I'm looking for is no bugs , authentication and encryption. I want features turned off by default, configs tight as a drum.

This includes a link to this doco in the repo which is an incredible source of info: https://github.com/9001/copyparty/blob/hovudstraum/docs/vers...
If the author is lurking here, are you doing all by yourself? Do you use any LLM/agent?
It really is impressive.

It's very impressive, particularly if you remember waking up to a failed download from the night before over dial-up.

Most files were available via FTP which supported resume.

If you're looking for security and stability, I would personally avoid this. I took a glance at the code and it's... not great. It's absolutely full of short, meaningless 1-2 letter variable and function names that make it very hard to read and understand if you're not the original author. Wouldn't be surprised if it's full of security holes that will never be found.
According to the author it was mostly written on the train with his phone, that could explain the terse naming.
This is the wet dream of every power-user. It has tons of features on top of the file server. And it also seems developed by a 10x (100x?) developer, I mean, just making/editing the video is a work of art and humor. If the author is lurking here, are you doing all by yourself?
