-There's a similar setup page for running your own server with a bare git repo: https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/centralized_git_repository_tutorial/on_your_own_server/
-
-However:
-1- it doesn't work as a transfer repo and showcasing the git-annex-drop statement
-2- out of date as the instructions don't work.
-
-I also found https://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/How_to_work_with_transfer_repos_manually__63__/. 
-But the solution doesn't seem to work here either. Maybe something changed since then.
