You want to quickly send a file from your cell phone to your laptop or send something to a friend at home - but the file is too big for WhatsApp, email is too cumbersome and AirDrop only works on Apple devices. \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here comes <strong>PairDrop<\/strong> comes into play - a free, open and super-practical solution that allows you to <strong>simply via browser<\/strong> between all devices. Without any login, app or cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed instructions and explanations of all configuration options, I recommend watching the YouTube video linked below. This video goes into detail about each individual setting, providing you with comprehensive instructions on how to set everything up correctly. Any code from the video can be found in this article, so you can use it directly without having to type it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This blog post, including video, is part of a series in which we build and set up our own home server. We start with the basics, such as installing Ubuntu VM with Docker, and then move on to configuring our own domain, security measures, and, above all, lots of cool and useful self-hosted services. Whether it's media servers like Plex or Jellyfin or document management like Paperless-NGX, we'll work together to build the setup you want to see. We'll even tackle topics like single sign-on (SSO) together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent

However, you can also make this possible via a VPN network over a distance. However, the performance depends on the VPN.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%8D_Pairdrop_uber_das_Internet_nutzen\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf0d Use Pairdrop via the Internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are not in the same WLAN? No problem!<br>Pairdrop also offers the option, <strong>via the Internet<\/strong> to share files. To do this, simply share the generated <strong>Room link<\/strong> (e.g. <code>pairdrop.net\/#abcdef<\/code>) with your counterpart. Both open the same link - and it works even over long distances. You can also see this in the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this takes a little longer than in the local network, but it is still much less complicated than a cloud upload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-installation-via-docker\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installation_via_Docker\"><\/span>Installation via Docker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To run PairDrop permanently in the local network, you can use it conveniently with Docker and <em>docker-compose<\/em> install. The prerequisite is a functioning Docker host (e.g. a Linux server, NAS, Raspberry Pi or VM) with Docker and Docker Compose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use the following docker-compose.yml:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>services:\n  pairdrop:\n    image: lscr.io\/linuxserver\/pairdrop\n    container_name: pairdrop\n    networks:\n      - sascha\n    environment:\n      TZ: Europe\/Berlin\n      RATE_LIMIT: false\n      WS_FALLBACK: true\n      RTC_CONFIG:\n      DEBUG_MODE: false\n      PUID: 99\n      PGID: 100\n      UMASK: 022\n    ports:\n      - 3005:3000\n    healthcheck:\n      test: wget -nv -t1 --spider http:\/\/localhost:3000\/ || exit 1\n      interval: 1m\n      timeout: 10s\n      retries: 3\n    restart: unless-stopped\n\nnetworks:\n    sascha:\n      external: true<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The provided <code>docker-compose.yml<\/code> uses the official LinuxServer.io image <code>lscr.io\/linuxserver\/pairdrop<\/code> and starts the container under the name <code>pairdrop<\/code>. The network mode is set to the external network <code>sasha<\/code> so that the container can communicate with other services in the same network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environment variables set the time zone (<code>TZ<\/code>) to Europe\/Berlin, deactivate rate limiting and WebSocket fallbacks, switch off debug mode and define user and group IDs (PUID\/PGID) so that file permissions work correctly. The port 3000 in the container is mapped to port 3005 of the host - this means that you can reach PairDrop later under <code>http:\/\/dein-server:3005<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An integrated health check regularly checks whether the service is available and automatically restarts the container in the event of problems. Thanks to <code>restart: unless-stopped<\/code> the service remains active even after a reboot as long as you do not stop it manually. Ideal for a stable PairDrop installation in the home network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tipps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tipps\"><\/span>Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When self-hosting PairDrop, you will be confronted with some typical hurdles - here are my tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Problem<\/th><th>Cause \/ Note<\/th><th>Solution<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Devices do not see each other<\/td><td>Incorrect networks (different subnets) or firewall blocks WebRTC<\/td><td>Check that ports and protocols are open, configure STUN\/TURN correctly if necessary<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No connection via the Internet<\/td><td>NAT, firewall, incorrect relay configuration<\/td><td>Use your own TURN server, set <code>RTC_CONFIG<\/code> correct<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Port conflicts<\/td><td>Container or host already uses port 3000<\/td><td>Change or map ports (e.g. <code>4000:3000<\/code>) and adjust proxy<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Uncertain public authority<\/td><td>Open on the network without authentication<\/td><td>Add authentication via reverse proxy or web server middleware<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Connection interruptions \/ instability<\/td><td>Browser problems, network fluctuations<\/td><td>Test with other browsers, activate WebSocket fallback (<code>WS_FALLBACK=true<\/code>)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"youtube\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Umsetzung_im_YouTube-Video\"><\/span>YouTube video implementation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\ud83d\udcbePairDrop: Share files on all devices at lightning speed &amp; securely - without login &amp; app!
