How do you get your copyparty on the internet to share?

im really dumb and simple minded
how tf do you get copyparty to generate a shareable link you can give to anyone without them being connected to your internet

[severak]

either:

1. you have some server and run copyparty on that server
2. run copyparty on your local machine and access it from the internet via some tunnel - e.g. cloudflare tunnel

Once you have the server accessible from the wider internet, as suggested by Several, you should think about accounts. Set up your account with full access, and a guest account that can only access one volume (let's call it /share) and even then they can only read, not write. Then, if you want to share something, copy it into the /share volume and just copy the link from your web browser. Provide your guest with the Guest account password and they can download anything in /share.

Isn't there a way to generate a link which contain a key or it can opened with a password only?

[monksharru]

Yes, using the share function

It was not straightforward to me that it had to be enabled in the config
