there is a discord server with an @everyone in case of future important updates, such as vulnerabilities (most recently 2025-09-07)

🧪 new features

now possible to upload/delete files while the filesystem-indexer is still busy d44ea24 0ca4c1b
- global-option fika decides which actions to allow while still indexing; default is upload+copy+delete
- full deduplication is only guaranteed if this option is set blank, as dupes are allowed while indexing
#1266 browsers can request thumbnails as jxl images (thx @intelfx!) b2711e0 720c83b 93ffc65 a65a30b a7a25de 59de5e2 16403d8 48c1017 0e8913c
- the future is FINALLY here (sure took a while)
- some notes on memory/RAM usage though -- it is fine on Alpine Linux, so docker is also fine, just don't enable mimalloc
  - jxl can be disabled with global-option th-no-jxl if necessary on baremetal deployments until libvips fixes this
#1265 audioplayer can "skip silence" now (thx @icxes!) 6694998
#1287 opensearch support for opds (thx @philips!) 84e687a
#1276 option to allow editing of arbitrary file-extensions with only the read+write permissions 312f48e d692838
- option rw-edit is the comma-separated list of permitted extensions, default is md
#1288 option to customize the links copied when selecting files and pressing ctrl-c (thx @icxes!) e5d0a05
docker: add option to run an arbitrary script (for customizations and such) during startup bf01ca4

🩹 bugfixes

#1279 the textfile-viewer would refuse to load huge documents when hotlinked f02e9cf
#1280 the custom rightclick-menu was enabled in the textfile viewer fc8a4b8
#1262 logtail now works on windows; would previously take an exclusive-lock on the monitored file, as windows does by default a368fc6

volumes are hidden from the treeview if the name starts with a dot 76041fd
#1277 descript.ion files no longer require the e2d and e2t options to be enabled 4cb4e82
chunked PUT-uploads are now terminated if they exceed a configured size limit dfadb5a
#1282 improved compatibility with GraalPy (thx @vgskye!) e8609b8
#1292 #1296 updated Esperanto translation (thx @slashdevslashurandom!) 418bf2f 914f84c
thumbnails: use libvips as fallback for rawpy 27ae2e1
- libvips doesn't support .arw files (sony) yet, so still need rawpy
make server config slightly easier:
- improve xff warnings 96aeb89
- warn if config-values are quoted 598df44
- lowercase headernames in configs fd09638

the fika option sends the filesystem-indexer on a coffee break
exci wants me to mention aoi yuuki here for some reason :^) so here's gekisou gungnir

download link	is it good?	description
copyparty-sfx.py	✅ the best 👍	runs anywhere! only needs python
copyparty-en.py	✅ also good	same but english-only, no i18n
a docker image	it's ok	good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe	⚠️ acceptable	for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe	⚠️ acceptable	CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty-en.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	english-only, no smb-server
copyparty32.exe	⛔️ dangerous	for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe	⛔️ dangerous	runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb	┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌	a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
