I make use of sharedrop.io to quickly share files between phones and computers on my LAN. Does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative, preferably containerised with Docker?

Is LocalSend a viable option, even though it is not containerized?

Share files to nearby devices. Free, open-source, cross-platform.

This is what I need.

If you only need to drop files on the same LAN, then you really don't need a server. P2P is perfect and cuts out the middle man.
