copyparty

stack File Sharing / Storage

File server in one Python app, with resumable uploads, thumbnails, search and a music player in the browser, plus WebDAV for mounting it as a drive.

Source code

Install copyparty

It isn't in the main Portainer Templates list yet, so use this one. Portainer takes one URL at a time, so it swaps out whatever list you had before.

In Portainer, head to Settings --> App Templates, paste this in as the URL and save.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NotAFlightRisk/portainer-templates-extras/main/templates.json

Open App Templates and pick copyparty.
Fill in Password. Everything else can stay as it is.
Hit Deploy the stack, then open http://<your-server>:3923 in a browser.

The same file Portainer deploys. It reads its settings from a .env next to it.

services:
  copyparty:
    image: copyparty/ac:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "${COPYPARTY_PORT:-3923}:3923"
    command:
      - -a
      - "admin:${COPYPARTY_PASSWORD:?Set a password}"
      - -v
      - /w::A,admin
      - --hist
      - /cfg/hists
      - -e2dsa
      - -e2ts
    volumes:
      - copyparty-files:/w
      - copyparty-config:/cfg

volumes:
  copyparty-files:
  copyparty-config:

Fill in the blanks, as copyparty won't start without them.

# Password (required) - What you'll log in with. Anything long and hard to guess, or generate one with: openssl rand -hex 16
COPYPARTY_PASSWORD=

# Host port for the web UI
COPYPARTY_PORT=3923

Grab the file and start it.

mkdir copyparty && cd copyparty
curl -fsSL -o compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NotAFlightRisk/portainer-templates-extras/main/apps/copyparty/compose.yml
# save the .env tab here as .env first
docker compose up -d

Before you start

Set the password before you deploy, since the stack won't start without one. Then open http://<your-host>:3923 (or whichever port you picked) and you'll land on a login box that only wants the password, no username. Logged in, you can upload, make folders, move, delete and see everything, while anyone else just gets that login box (upstream's own default is read-write for everyone). Files live in the copyparty-files volume, and the search index, thumbnails and logins live in copyparty-config. WebDAV clients connect to the same address, with any username and that password. Its switch to https button uses a certificate built into every copyparty, so it's no real protection, and a reverse proxy is the way to get proper HTTPS. Docs: github.com/9001/copyparty

Settings

What the Portainer form asks for. With compose they go in the .env file instead.

Variable	What it's for	Default
`COPYPARTY_PASSWORD`	Password (required) What you'll log in with. Anything long and hard to guess, or generate one with: openssl rand -hex 16	Needs filling in
`COPYPARTY_PORT`	Host port for the web UI	`3923`

Services

The containers this stack runs, with ports as they come out of the box.

Service	Image	Ports
`copyparty`	`copyparty/ac:latest`	`3923:3923`
