I'll have to say that this is about one of the most detailed instructions I've seen, replete with copious screenshots. I'm going to have to give it a go just based on that. LOL

I’m in the market for a self hosted file server so I can use it as a destination for website backups. Absolutely going to give this a look next week. Thanks for posting about it!
This looks sick. Thanks for making and sharing it!
I have a samba fileserver behind wireguard. Would copyparty be an improvement over samba?

Looks fantastic, I'll actually be trying this. Love how it doesn't lock my files into some obscure format like seafiles.
Looks really cool. Might spin up a test bed to try.
This is really impressive
OMG! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time!
I will try this as soon as I have time. Thank you!
Any way to run the server as a docker container?
You can run absolutely anything as a docker container that you have the binary (and other files if needed), or you can go fancy and compile from source in docker.
Just create a dockerfile.
From (some base image you want to use like Ubuntu or Alpine)
Copy necessary files
Run the binary
You can run it straight from command line, put it in a docker compose file, or even tag it and upload it to a repository (and then reference that in your docker compose)

Can you point me to the WebDAV code? I’m interested to see your implementation. There are some parts of the spec that are ambiguous, and I like to see how those are implemented in different servers.

Wow! This is great. I may give it a shot.
This looks nighsome as blossom!
Hey! Just set this up today and it seems pretty good. Only issue I'm having is that is pretty slow to download (~2mb/s) what are some good ways to speed it up?
