@LoudLemur Thank you for the feedback. Interesting use case, I never tried to move the application afterwards to another location. I may try myself, but what happens when you do that?
-
@Kubernetes In my case, the application just didn't load. I waited a while. Maybe I should have waited even longer.
Also, it might or might not be a good idea to try installing it onto the Cloudron demo, and maybe even making that a standard procedure, though there may be strong arguments against this. Anyway, people might be able to use a demo instance to verify things are working.
I also think a short explainer video on how to use it could help.
-
@LoudLemur Changing the subdomain is not supported for easy-installer apps. I have already put a comment to the package template for future use.

I tried using my remote instance. I didn't have success.
I connected to the instance using a regular browser, and that went OK and I was able to enter a public room. Then, from the same machine, but using TOR, I tried to visit the instance again. The TOR visit never saw the file being shared, and the TOR visitor never appeared on the pairshare radar.
If you try this using Brave Browser's weak TOR, there is no error message, however on TOR Browser, the following is received:
To use this PairDrop instance, WebRTC must be enabled!I think a note about enabling WebRTC and how to toggle/untoggle that would be a good addition to the documentation.

One piece of documentation that would be handy is a short "How To" explaining how to verify pairdrop is going OK, before you start letting others use it.

@Kubernetes is amazing!
I got it going ok. I used a Brave browser nightly without any lockdowns or extensions that disable webRTC to e.g. prevent webRTC leaks.
I expect a ton of people are going to run into this webRTC issue and we should offer some guidance on how to make it work smoothly the first time.
Thank you very much, yet again, @kubernetes!

@LoudLemur @girish posted that the Repo has been blocked by Github (for whatever reason)

I have a feature I would like: anonymity.
Mouse wants to share a cheese picture with Hamster, so he sets it up and waits for Hamster to arrive. Whilst doing so, Mouse also wants to share a picture of some milk with Cat. However, Mouse doesn't want Cat to bump into Hamster on the pairdrop. Mouse doesn't want to give Cat the cheese or Hamster the milk.
Can this be accomplished?

Repo is back https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop/issues/284 . I think they wait for some clarity on how to proceed since GitHub is not responding.
His github was flagged as spam. Flagging a github as spam is sometimes a vindictive ploy used by horrible people. It is a good reason to self-host.
-
I have been using @Kubernetes version, and it works very well. I think it is ready for the main Repo.

@LoudLemur You can do that with VaulWarden, if you are running it - the function is called "send" very goop in my eyes and offers a TON of security features

Yes, I love that feature - I use it all the time to transmit sensitive documents
