>Is Tailscale / Taildrop fully open source? Why would it be? It's a commercial service. >Such that I can set this up myself for my own purposes 1:1? I'm guessing both peers ping a central server in order to discover each other, which is why it's integrated with tailscale at all. If you're in the tiny segment of the population who is already paying for a server with a public IP, and have the technical ability to deploy services to it, I feel like it would be marginally less effort to just sftp the file to that server rather than try to clone the feature set of taildrop. Tailscale could theoretically publish a docker container that contains the guts of this service, but it'd be rather a lot of work, for no money. >>Sign up with your identity provider... I have not seen a lot of evidence that regular users care about identity provider privacy, seeing as how Facebook had 2.8 billion monthly active users last quarter. That customer segment (half of the world population) might be more interested in signing up for the free tier of tailscale and getting magic file sharing than they would be in administering their own linux server.
