Been running my own PairDrop docker container for some months now and it has been amazing.

What's the value prop of running your own instance vs just using pairdrop.net infra itself?

Running it on your own infrastructure?

[JaneLovesDotNet → steve1977]

That's not a value proposition. That's more of a definition :-P

I'm thinking things along the lines of privacy, security, speed, etc

Lots of reasons to self host things for this privacy is a big one but owning a service instead of renting means you don’t need to worry about the landlord or service provider raising prices or kicking you out.

SnapDrop/PairDrop is famous for going offline sometimes. It happened to me once.
