Does anyone have a recommendation for someone with a domain name and a k8s cluster where I can set up a simple image and/or video host?
I don’t want to have to use Imgur anymore, and am more than capable of setting up cloudflared, and just want to share a screenshot or two, or perhaps show some friends something cool in a video game without having to go through YouTube or Twitch.
Requirement is “somewhat private” - puttin’ it on IPFS makes it public by default …
Likely not any less private than imgur was.
Yeah as long as the URL has some unguessable hash I’d be okay with this, I’ll look into this.
the hashes look like this

IPFS is kind of like a torrent system, you generate the file, add it to something like ipfs desktop or brave browser, it injects the hash into the p2p system, they download it from you directly or any one else that has downloaded it.
It’s not for truly private things, it’s more like throwing it on an unlisted imgur. It’s also not possible to redact things so if you shove it out there, it might be out there forever.
To be honest, is that different with other solutions? I mean if you post something to your whateverAccount, you might be able to redact it… that does not mean that it isn’t out there anymore though, just that your profile does not show the old content anymore, right?
Actually yeah it is. In IPFS files under a certain size get cashed permanently. The size is pretty small I think it’s like 2K, but it’s enough that you really want to make sure you don’t accidentally share like your entire drive is a folder or something because a lot of it will stick around forever without anybody doing anything.
