ProjectSend VS Plik

I was looking for the same thing last month. I ended up using projectsend. https://github.com/projectsend/projectsend

You could try https://www.projectsend.org/ - that is pretty easy to set up, and looks nice, or if you want something more simple/efficient and fewer dependencies, there's also dl which I've been using for years.

Project Send perhaps?

I agree that Nextcloud would be your best choice, but if you don't like it, have a look at Projectsend

A lot of good suggestions in this thread. Adding Project Send to the list of software to check out as well.

I've used https://www.projectsend.org/ on my own server for years. Simple, effective, and free.

I just recently tried ProjectSend in Docker that I think will do what you want. In my case, I think I have it set up like you want:

I tried plik and it worked very well: https://github.com/root-gg/plik

Plik has a streaming option which claims to not store the data, although it looks like the transfer still goes through the server (and isn't peer to peer like the WebRTC example in another comment).

we ended up using plik, not the best visually, but it works for us

There is another file hosting application called plik.

https://github.com/root-gg/plik

It also supports login providers like Google and has cli clients.

What about plik ? https://github.com/root-gg/plik

Plik is definitely your friend. It suits all of your wishlist ,is usable with curl and wget and has their own command-line tools (great for specifying download limits and E2E encryption)! Plus, it has a streaming option, so it opens a WebRCT channel and "streams" the file to the target device w/o storing anything on your server.

Plik (For advanced users) Has command-line interface to send / receive files in CLI. Has users support and optional "streaming" features to send files without engagement of the server (correct me if I'm wrong). Can be configured to have client-side encryption.
