My solution for first party public media distribution is Caddy¹ on Scaleway Stardust². The 10gb of storage isn't really enough space (more can be purchased; I still need to find a proxy for the 75gb of free S3-compatible object storage), but it inlcudes unmetered 100mbps data transfer for $3/month. I proxy through Caddy to dufs³ to upload files via the web (could probably just use dufs alone). Caddy can do basic auth but expiring links would be more work. Anything worth keeping goes on an external HD locally; buy a bigger one yearly and make another copy (move the old one offsite). After experiencing the death of several HDs I also upload all irreplaceable video to Youtube as private videos. I recently went through and manually granted a few people access by pasting their Gmail into the 200+ they wanted to see; need to automate this tedious process. ¹https://caddyserver.com https://caddyserver.com ²https://www.scaleway.com/en/stardust-instances https://www.scaleway.com/en/stardust-instances ³https://github.com/sigoden/dufs https://github.com/sigoden/dufs
