Yes it is. But people can't share files unless you allow it, or you create a user for them. I think everybody can share files using Send.

Anyone can share files using send.

Is this different than hosting an ftp server?

You can't browse your files. You upload files and get a link that you can share. I'm not the dev, just a user of Pingvin Share.

But that's not cool. Looks like you also can't use your built-in system for managing the daemon/service and you have to install node.js.

Can't deploy the latest micro service you found on github without some docker bullshit.

With that said. I'm not shitting on the project itself - it looks great and I'm sure it serves a purpose.

Is this a good option for someone like me that wants to host simple files for friends to download? I have my own domain and subdomains set up already.

If this isn't a good option, can someone recommend me one? I'm looking for something simple to send files to people without a requirement for login info. Preferably something on docker.

may not meet your requirements but have you taken a look at https://wormhole.app ?

Looks interesting but I'd prefer to self host it. I tried Nextcloud and had nothing but problems so I'm on the lookout for something simpler.

Very generous with the 10 GB limit though.

Fair point, but do note that https://wormhole.app is just a web-client for the wormhole protocol. There's a reference implementation and there's - personally - a much better go-based implementation (wormhole-william) that also has a few clients built using its API:

rymdport: A cross-platform Magic Wormhole graphical user interface
riftshare: Desktop filesharing app
tmux-wormhole: tmux wormhole integration
wormhole-william-mobile: Android wormhole-william app

A great option that I personally use is FileShelter. It's super light and seems to perform very well.

I like to use FileBrowser simply because it has a good UI as well as a built-in share feature. So it doubles as the file browser I use for my server and for sharing any files with my friends

Look up Picoshare - it's incredibly simple and thus very stable and easy to use.
