PsiTransfer makes it easy to share files securely without requiring user accounts or complex setup. Perfect for sharing large files temporarily with colleagues, clients, or friends.​

Note: This container runs as UID 1000 (the ‘node’ user from the base image). The data volume is automatically owned by UID 1000. If using a bind mount and you encounter permission issues, ensure the host directory is owned by UID 1000:1000.\n\nTo enable the admin dashboard, set PSITRANSFER_ADMIN_PASS to your desired password.
