So I post OC videos here, and so far I’ve managed mostly by reducing the quality or posting only vids within the 20mb upload limit. I’d like to share longer and better quality stuff though!
A lot of the more ‘commercial’ sites want ID verification, which I’m not down with. And also I’m just here to share (and get attention ^^ ), so even if I were to post it for free somewhere… I dunno. I’d like something that still feels ‘fediverse’ / ‘open culture’.
I’ve tried catbox.moe a few times, but it’s been just a huge pile of trouble - failed uploads, incomplete videos, uploads that seem to work at first then black-screen, just feels like bugs everywhere.
Any suggestions
Your own cloud storage like Seafile or nextcloud. The quality and size limits are whatever you can afford. I keep my favorite memes on mine to repost without them getting more crunchified
Seafile needs a letsencrypt plugin, otherwise lady here is going to need nginxproxymanager plus seafile or something.
I just use certbot on a systemdtimer and nginx for reverse proxy personally but yes something like that would be needed
@BlueWindsBreeze@fedinsfw.app do you have a budget for selfhosted? And/Or a spare computer and willingness to use Linux?
I run my own yunohost box already with dynamic dns. But I don’t really want to use my residential IP to host porn of myself, thanks.
Yes I know I could do (all the other options for hosting things). Not looking for that level of effort when other people have listed a bunch of free services that’ll do it for me.
That’s a fine policy.
Presumably you still want to host it somewhere rather than running it off a machine in your living room. I’ve been struggling to find somewhere suitable for me for this purpose - cloud storage seems to be what you need for low cost though.
