usage

install (bun install)

run (bun run start)

the server should start and give a url

note: on windows wsl, you have to do this thing https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/networking

# in an administrator powershell window
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=3000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=3000 connectaddress={{put the ip address filetransfer gives here}}
# also, disable windows firewall
# also, reevaluate your life choices that lead to you having to use windows in the first place

configuration

to select a different port, run with env PORT=8080 (or the port you want)

if your computer has multiple ip addresses on the local network, start the server with env IPADDR=[desired] or env IFACE=[desired]. Running the server without either of these will show the possible ip addresses or network interfaces. to disable the baseurl thing entirely, or if other computers have a custom host entry, launch with env RAWIP=localhost (switch localhost for the host entry you want).

notes

• don't run this on a forwarded port, keep it inside your local network.
• qr codes are generated using a google api, so they won't work when you are not connected to the internet.
• there is probably a filesize limit. the default has not been adjusted, so there may be issues with large files. this should be easy to fix.
• [warning] files are transferred insecurely, anyone else on your local network may be able to see the files you transfer. TODO: fix this
