reddit / selfhosted

can it select files to download in a zip folder

or display file and folder sizes, in a web browser or app

and stream and preview media?

​

any other protocols or software that can do webUI and some app?

just send someone a simple link like Mega can do

and be able to browse it reasonably

​

​

i wanna make sure it's secure

securely-self-host-a-website-or-web-app/)

​

if there's anything that can do API, i'd like to port a protocol to
making an android app

i'm not sure what firebase and the like use

​

i can get proxmox, docker

maybe nginx or cloudflare or whatever

not sure whether pfsense would help secure local stuff.

Here's what I do when I want to know the extent of the capabilities of
something.  I take it for a test drive.

yeah i'm getting proxmox and docker installed soon

just asking if there's anything to try before nextcloud...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah it seems it can do most of what Mega does

but i'm gonna have to consider what else for API level stuff

You can add plugins to nextcloud to unzip files you upload.

Nextcloud doesn't use a proprietary API, it's WebDAV. Any WebDAV
client works
