Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser. Also provides the local ip address and a qr code to view on another device on same network.
$ qr-file-share --help
or
$ node bin.js --help
Does this need docker? Who knows? Probably not but I want to learn Docker. The QR code links to the container's ip so it doesn't work over the local network but should work on the device running the container.
Build
$ docker build -t qr-file-share .
Run
$ docker run -dp 8080:8080 --name qr-file-share --mount type=bind,source=/path/to/share,target=/target qr-file-share --path=/target
