Hi all. I’ve been using Syncthing for the last few weeks now fully as a replacement for Nextcloud, and I love it! (Apologies if this is in the wrong topic section too).
There are some cases where I need to access files from a public computer and download them, modify them and then reupload them at the end of the session. A plan in mind which I’ve got is to develop a minimal UI and API to handle user authentication and the file operations needed. It could be configured by a config file which you specify the directory you want to share.
Would I be wasting my time doing this, or are there any lightweight solutions out there which can sit on top of my Syncthing “server”.
There exist some file-manager-over-HTTP type things, in PHP and otherwise, which you might be able to just install and run besides/on top of Syncthing. (Whether this counts as “minimal” is another question.)
If I were to do the minimal thing I’d probably look at hooking into Caddy as some sort of plugin, getting HTTPS and stuff “for free”.
