customizing the text under Simple, private file sharing

[Technically-Possible]

how and can we modify this text after the docker image container has been made?

The environment variables allow for a lot of branding and customizations. Here some examples for docker compose:

    environment:
      - NODE_ENV=production # default is development
      - DETECT_BASE_URL=true
      #- BASE_URL=https://send.example.com # optional; if used then protocol handler (http/https) is mandatory
      - PORT=1234
      - REDIS_HOST=redis
      # For local uploads storage
      - FILE_DIR=/uploads
      # To customize upload limits
      - EXPIRE_TIMES_SECONDS=3600,86400,604800,2592000,31536000 # Expire time options to show in UI dropdown, e.g. 3600,86400,604800,2592000,31536000
      - DEFAULT_EXPIRE_SECONDS=604800 # Default expire time in UI (defaults to 86400)
      - MAX_EXPIRE_SECONDS=31536000 # Maximum upload expiry time in seconds (defaults to 604800 aka 7 days)
      - DOWNLOAD_COUNTS=1,2,5,10,50 # Download limit options to show in UI dropdown, e.g. 10,1,2,5,10,15,25,50,100,1000
      - DEFAULT_DOWNLOADS=10      
      - MAX_DOWNLOADS=10 # Maximum number of downloads (defaults to 100)
      - MAX_FILE_SIZE=2684354560 # Maximum upload file size in bytes (defaults to 2147483648 aka 2GB)

Custom description seems not to work though. This is a bug.

Yes, setting those environment variables is the right way to do it.

If your desired options are not in there, I'd recommend to change it in source code and build from source. Also feel free to add a pull request for a new option.

Closing this now since I think this is resolved. Feel free to open it again.
