Hello,
just wanted to share that I have successfully hosted copyparty instance behind cloudflare on my porator laptop :D
you can use it to share memes or use it as temporary storage, I don’t have any idea of how to manage a public facing service but I will figure it out.
You must log in or # to comment.
Take. It. Down.
Do you know how much CSAM was on Lemmy when it first got started?
This kind of service should be open for friends and family only, NOT the whole wide world.
But I want to learn how to host things and manage services without opening it to public how would I know if I am capable enough.
Also what else do you suggest to host? I have some experience but don’t know much
You are ignoring people who have walked this path and are giving you the advice right now.
Public file hosting is not where you start.
For the love of Christ, take it down. Why would you do that to yourself?

Terrible move.
What if someone puts something illegal on your server? How do you know someone hasn’t done that already?
Afaik I can delete stuff using the administration account but I will double check.
I don’t mean to add to the discourse here or to keep giving you hypotheticals but, while learning to self host is fun and cool, you really do not want this thing on public Internet. Even if you can delete files to prevent uncouth things, what if someone uploads something while you’re asleep, or away from your computer? Do you have others monitoring the instance to take down CSAM or other illegal material? What if someone uploads malware and it executes on your machine? If you must leave it exposed, you should allow only family and friends to access via a strongly passworded account(I think that is configurable with copy party).
If you really want to expose services, try a media server like Plex or Jellyfin. You don’t want strangers to upload things to your machines.
Inb4 it gets abused.
This just in:
Looks like someone took the liberty of uploading copyrighted shows and 3D printable gun parts to his file server.
Doesn’t look like you have set any limitations on uploading to it?
I’ll just go ahead and upload my 20TB or so of linux ISOs to your public facing website where everyone can see what is uploaded to it…
Yeah but don’t do that please😥
There’s no way you’re actually this dumb. Come on. Quit trolling.
Not dumb but lazy 😣
