Copyparty

Copyparty is a portable file server with a rich browser UI. Use it when you need to expose real directories (share, media, backups, Home Assistant and app configs) with uploads and WebDAV — unlike S3 object storage.

Features

• Browse and upload files from a web browser
• Resumable uploads / downloads
• WebDAV on the same port
• Optional readonly login for browse/download-only access
• Optional guest read or read-write access
• File indexing and multimedia thumbnails (ffmpeg)

Installation

1. Add the J0rsa repository to Home Assistant
2. Install Copyparty
3. Set a strong password
4. Start the app

Mapped folders

URL path	Path in container	Source	Access
/addon-config	/config	App public config (addon_config)	writable
/addon-configs	/addon_configs	All apps’ public configs (all_addon_configs)	writable
/homeassistant	/homeassistant	Home Assistant configuration	writable
/share	/share	Shared folder	writable
/backup	/backup	Home Assistant backups	writable
/media	/media	Media folder	writable
/ssl	/ssl	TLS certificates (ssl)	read-only

Security

• Change the default password before opening port 3923 outside your LAN
• Use readonly for browse/download-only access instead of sharing the admin password
• Keep anonymous_access: none unless you intentionally want guest uploads
• Write access to /homeassistant, /backup, and /addon-configs can break Home Assistant or other apps if files are edited carelessly
