in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2023-07-23)
new features
- #92 users can change their own passwords 83fb569 00da744
- this feature is default-disabled; see readme
- #84 share files/folders by creating a temporary url 7c2beba
- inspired by other file servers; click the share-button to create a link like
example.com/share/enkz8g374o8g
- primary usecase is to sneak past authentication services (see issue description)
- the create-share UI has options to accept uploads into the share, and/or set expiration time
- this feature is default-disabled; see readme
- inspired by other file servers; click the share-button to create a link like
bugfixes
- #93 fixes for vproxy / location-based / not-vhost-based reverse-proxying 0b46b1a
- using
--rp-loc
to reverse-proxy from a subfolder made some UI stuff break
- using
- listening on unix-sockets: 687df2f
- fix
x-forwarded-for
support, and avoid a possible container-specific collision - new syntax which allows setting unix-permissions and unix-group
-i unix:770:www:/tmp/party.sock
(see--help-bind
for more examples)
- fix
- using relocation hooks (introduced in previous ver) could cause dedup issues c8f4aea b0af4b3
- custom fonts using
@import
css statements 5a62cb4 - invert volume scrollwheel 7d8d943
other changes

hook into place
- read-only demo server at https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/
- docker image ╱ similar software ╱ client testbed
there is a discord server with an @everyone
in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2023-07-23)
new features
- #86 intentional side-effects from hooks 6c94a63
- use hooks (plugins) to conditionally move uploads into another folder depending on filename, extension, uploader ip/name, file contents, ...
- hooks can create additional files and tell copyparty to index them immediately, or delete an existing file based on some condition
- only one example so far though, reloc-by-ext which was a feature-request to dodge sharex#3992
- listen on unix-sockets ee9aad8
-i unix:/tmp/party.sock
stops listening on TCP ports entirely, and only listens on that unix-socket- can be combined with regular sockets,
-i 127.0.0.1,unix:/tmp/a.sock
- kinda buggy for now (need to
--xff-src=any
and doesn't let you set socket-perms yet), will be fixed in next ver - makes it 10% faster, but more importantly offers tighter access control behind reverse-proxies
- up2k stitching:
- new option
--js-other
to load custom javascript dbd42bc--js-browser
affects the filebrowser page,--js-other
does all the others- endless possibilities, such as adding a login-banner which looks like this
- list detected optional dependencies on startup 3db117d
- hopefully reduces the guesswork / jank factor by a tiny bit
bugfixes
- up2k stitching:
- put the request headers on a diet so they fit through more reverse-proxies 0da719f
- fix deadlock on s390x (IBM mainframes) 250c8c5
other changes
- add flags to disengage features and dependencies in case they cause trouble 72361c9
- optimizations
- docker: add portainer howto e136231
- update deps ca001c8
- pyftpdlib 1.5.10
- copyparty.exe: python 3.12.5

not that big
- read-only demo server at https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/
- docker image ╱ similar software ╱ client testbed
there is a discord server with an @everyone
in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2023-07-23)
new features
- up2k.js: set clientside timeouts on http connections during upload 85e5498
- some reverse-proxy setups could cause uploads to hang indefinitely by eating requests; should recover nicely now
- audio-player shows statustext while loading 662541c
- bsod theme (live demo) 15ddcf5
bugfixes
- fix bugs in the long-distance upload optimizations in the previous version:
- up2k.js didn't necessarily use the expected chunksize when stitching 225bd80
- u2c (commandline uploader): 8916bce
- use the correct chunksize instead of overshooting like crazy
- could crash on exit if
-z
was enabled (so basically harmless) - the "time spent uploading" statustext that was printed on exit could multiply by
-j
and exceed walltime
- misc ux 9bb6e0d
- don't accept hotkeys until it's safe to do so
- improve messages regarding the firefox crash
- keep more console logs in memory (easier to debug)
- fix wordwrap in messageboxes on firefox a19a0fa
other changes
- changed the
xm
/ "on message" hook examples to reject users without write-access 99edba4 - docker images were rebuilt on 2024-08-02, 23:30 UTC with new optimizations: 98ffaad
- 😃 RAM usage decreased by
5-6 MiB
for most flavors;10 MiB
for dj/iv - 😕 image size grew by
4 MiB
(min),6 MiB
(ac/im/iv),9 MiB

in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2023-07-23)
new features
- long-distance uploads are now twice as fast on average 132a835
- boost tcp windowsize scaling by stitching together smaller chunks into bigger chonks so they fly better across the atlantic
- i'm not kidding, on the two routes we've tested this on we gained 1.6x / 160% (from US-West to Finland) and 2.6x / 260% (Norway to US-East)
- files that are between 4 MiB and 256 MiB see the biggest improvement; 70% faster <= 768 MiB, 40% <= 1.5 GiB, 10% <= 6G
- if this turns out to be buggy, disable it serverside with
--u2sz 1,1,1
or clientside in the browser-ui:[⚙️]

- audio is extracted serverside to avoid wasting bandwidth
- extraction is lossy (converted to opus or mp3 depending on browser)

bugfixes
- inline markdown/logues rendered black-on-black in firefox 54 and some other browsers from 2017 and older eeef809
- unintuitive folder thumbnail selection if folder contains both

- improved robustness on unreliable networks
- #85 new option
--gsel
to default-enable the client setting to select files by ctrl-clicking them in the grid 9a87ee2 - music player: set audio volume by scrollwheel 36d6d29
bugfixes
- race-the-beam (downloading an unfinished upload) could get interrupted near the end, requiring a manual resume in the browser's download manager to finish f37187a
- ftp-server: when accessing the root folder of servers without a root folder, it could mention inaccessible folders 84e8e1d
- ftp-server: uploads will automatically replace existing files if user has delete perms 0a9f4c6

select()
was used for non-https downloads and mdns/ssdp initialization, which would start spinning at more than 1024 FDs, so now theypoll()

.ts
file in the gridview, don't open it as text 925c7f0- ...as it's probably an mpeg transport-stream, not a typescript file
- be less aggressive in dropping volume caches e396c5c
- very minor performance gain, only really relevant if you're doing something like burning a copyparty volume onto a CD
- previously, adding or removing any volume at all was enough to drop covers cache for all volumes; now this only happens if an intersecting volume is added/removed
other changes
- updated dompurify to 3.1.2 566cbb6

- empty folders show an "empty folder" banner fdda567
- opengraph / discord embeds ea270ab 36f2c44 48a6789 b15a4ef

- images are currently not rendering correctly once clicked on android-discord (works on ios and in browser)

this release introduces copyparty.pyz, yet another way to bring copyparty where it's needed -- very limited and with many drawbacks (see readme) but may work when the others don't
