## general bugs
* all volumes must exist / be available on startup; up2k (mtp especially) gets funky otherwise
* cannot mount something at `/d1/d2/d3` unless `d2` exists inside `d1`
* hiding the contents at url `/d1/d2/d3` using `-v :d1/d2/d3:cd2d` has the side-effect of creating databases (for files/tags) inside folders d1 and d2, and those databases take precedence over the main db at the top of the vfs - this means all files in d2 and below will be reindexed unless you already had a vfs entry at or below d2

two upload methods are available in the html client:

in the `🚀 up2k` tab, after toggling the `[🔎]` switch green, any files/folders you drop onto the dropzone will be hashed on the client-side. Each hash is sent to the server which checks if that file exists somewhere already
files go into `[ok]` if they exist (and you get a link to where it is), otherwise they land in `[ng]`
* the main reason filesearch is combined with the uploader is cause the code was too spaghetti to separate it out somewhere else
adding the same file multiple times is blocked, so if you first search for a file and then decide to upload it, you have to click the `[cleanup]` button to discard `[done]` files
note that since up2k has to read the file twice, 🎈 bup can be up to 2x faster if your internet connection is faster than the read-speed of your HDD

up2k has saved a few uploads from becoming corrupted in-transfer already; caught an android phone on wifi redhanded in wireshark with a bitflip, however bup with https would *probably* have noticed as well thanks to tls also functioning as an integrity check

quick summary of more eccentric web-browsers trying to view a directory index:
* safari (14.0.3/macos) is chrome with janky wasm, so playing opus can deadlock the javascript engine
* safari (14.0.1/iOS) same as macos, except it recovers from the deadlocks if you poke it a bit
* links (2.21/macports) can browse, login, upload/mkdir/msg
* lynx (2.8.9/macports) can browse, login, upload/mkdir/msg
* w3m (0.5.3/macports) can browse, login, upload at 100kB/s, mkdir/msg
* netsurf (3.10/arch) is basically ie6 with much better css (javascript has almost no effect)
* ie4 and netscape 4.0 can browse (text is yellow on white), upload with `?b=u`
* SerenityOS (22d13d8) hits a page fault, works with `?b=u`, file input not-impl, url params are multiplying

* [copyparty-sfx.py](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/latest/download/copyparty-sfx.py) -- pure python, works everywhere
* [copyparty-sfx.sh](https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/latest/download/copyparty-sfx.sh) -- smaller, but only for linux and macos

launch either of them (**use sfx.py on systemd**) and it'll unpack and run copyparty, assuming you have python installed of course
