Yes, I searched on both this sub and on the internet, but couldn't find anything. I found a list of potential software here: https://alternativeto.net/software/wetransfer/?platform=self-hosted.

There are some amazing pieces of software, but I need something a bit more specific, that I am almost completely sure exists, because my use-case is not very niche:

I want to be able to upload files either only from the local network or only with a password. I want to open the port so I can share stuff with outsiders, but I don't want random people to upload stuff. And it has to run as a Docker container. And yes, there are some pieces of software that offer Google Drive-like features, but that's just way too much for me. I don't need any advanced features and I only see that as overhead, as I already have other means of organizing my data for personal use. I just need time-limited password-protected uploads on a WeTransfer/Zippyshare kind of thing for when I need to share stuff.

Basically I do photography as a hobby and I would like to easily share files. But I don't want my server to be used by others for uploads, lol.

Yes, I would absolutely adore if end-to-end encryption would be available and stuff like that. I am currently running PsiTransfer and I was thinking of trying Lufi too, but neither seem to offer the upload password thing I need.

So, if you are using or you know of similar software, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks a lot in advance! 😁

I use also PsiTransfer, as its an amazing software. Maybe you could use something like Authelia to filter some addresses, in this way only you, as an identified person, will be able to upload data to the server.
