Ask HN: Best secure self-hosted solution to host download links?
1 comments
hello,
idk ... just use a system from a cheap provider of "real" server hardware, a la hetzner in germany, ovh in france or some similar provider in the area of your choice.
but for hosting downloads: network-latency shouldn't be a big issue, so i would go for example with hetzner, because i know them already and they are dirt-cheap (not affiliated with them, just a happy customer since ~ 20 y ;)
ad generating download-links: depending on your needs, either there are solutions available or it shouldn't be too much effort to implement a small web-app, which covers your use-case.
btw. if you need (professional) help for all of this, drop me a mail ...
br, t.

Payment is done via gumroad (also open to gumroad ecom flows) and I run some basic scripts that eventually result in a large 200GB file or so to deliver. I don't want to pay for bandwidth in aws s3 and I have G fiber so I'd rather just host it myself.
Curious if anyone has used existing open source tools for this? I basically need to be able to generate custom download links that will expire in a few days time that are a bit more secure than just SFTP or an open directory.
Cheers!
