snapdrop Selfhosted not working: Docker on Pi 4, Portainer. Not visible to other devices in the network

I installed using Linuxserver.io image from docker hub via Portainer GUI. Used only given parameters like config, PUID, PGID and TZ. The issue is when I open my Pi 4 IP HTTP://xx.xx.xx.xx:8851 or https://xx.xx.xx.xx:8853 on the same device with the same or different browsers I see the devices. If I open on any other device I'm not able to see other devices. (Mac, Windows, Android, iOS tried everything).

The website snapdrop.net works fine on all devices so I'm guessing no changes necessary on Network Config or device config.

Do I need to change something on Conf files to make this work on self-hosted instances? Am I missing some things?

Same issue for me. I also tried using the "original" version of this repo link but seems not to work either.

Same here. Deployed locally, no errors, but devices cannot see each other.

Installed via supplied Docker-compose.yaml and also cannot see any other devices. Also see a connection timeout banner every 5 seconds

Same here. I have just tried and it wont discover devices on the same network.

I don't know how or if this helps, but I got it working for me by routing snapdrop through traefik. After accessing it via my url with ssl, both devices were found instantly.

In before I was trying to access my snapdrop instance via the ip:port

I think it's because of the different IPs, when you connect from your internal network. Snapdrop puts clients with the same source ip (usually the WAN IP of your router) in one "Share-Room" Check this Issue out #159 and try to apply the "sed" commands to your container. then it should work.

This would be fixed if #558 was merged.

Same here. I tried sed command but i get this error:

sed: server/index.js: No such file or directory

@aboodvan Have you tried the pull request #558 as well?

Thank you @schlagmichdoch sed -i 's/peer.ip/0/g' server/index.js fixed it for me

I'm new to linux and I just learned that "ls -R index.js" wouldn't search inside directories.

I used "find -name index.js" and I fount out that www/ should be included as the file was in that directory.
