An awesome way to quickly and securely send/receive HUGE file transfers. Walkthrough here.

Quick install

In one tmux session:

sudo docker compose build && sudo docker compose up

Run with a Caddyfile

Caddy config file sample (original)

yoursubdomain.domain.com {
        reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:9001

        log {
                output file /var/log/caddy/zip.log
        }
}

sudo ./caddy run --config Caddyfile

Caddy config file with xcaddy integration

Setup xcaddy, then setup a Caddyfile similar to:

mydomain.com {
        # Proxy websocket signaling endpoint
        reverse_proxy /ws* http://127.0.0.1:9002

        # Proxy everything else to Next.js (frontend/backend)
        reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:9001
}

Then run this to make it all sing:

CF_API_TOKEN=xxx sudo --preserve-env=CF_API_TOKEN ./caddy run --config ./Caddyfile

Read the xcaddy page and this GitHub issue for more information.

Update

cd ~/folder-where-transfer.zip-is

# shut the container down
sudo docker-compose down

# get updates
git pull

# fire it back up again
sudo docker compose build && sudo docker compose up

Troubleshooting

If you run sudo docker compose build && sudo docker compose up and it poops out, what I found is that the build succeeded but the Docker didn't start. So I just ran sudo docker compose up -d and BAM! Back in business.
