Is there an app I can self-host that will let users upload stuff to my server? I need something where I can send a link to someone, and they can upload files & folders to my server (it doesn't matter much to me where, as long as I can transfer them out to wherever I need later).
For example, I'm working to archive my parents' family photos which right now live on a bunch of external HDDs. I need a way for my (non-technical) father to be able to upload a folder with potentially 10k plus files to my server. Because of his poor internet reliability, and the potentially large size, I need something that has resumability (so that if it fails, it can pick up where it left off and not re-start from scratch)
Security-wise, it would be nice to be able to only have uploads work when I send a link. Other than that, I'm not worried about malicious uploads or anything.
Does anyone have any recommendations for this? (Or, if nothing exists, would folks find this useful? I might end up making it if I can't find it)
I have a Jellyfin server, NextCloud instance, etc that I share with friends and family. Currently, I serve them over the open-internet using Cloudflare tunnels. Obviously this has some security implications that I don't love. Also recently one of my domains got flagged as malicious by google and now Chrome browsers won't go to the site - annoying.
I use Tailscale already to access my server infra remotely, but honestly I don't see this as a viable option for my non-technical friends and family. Plus, I need to support all kinds of devices like smart tvs. How do you fine folks deal with this issue?
My dad does a lot of buying old car parts on German eBay, but there is apparently a new requirement that you need a German phone number (for SMS verification codes, I guess). I was hoping to help him out with this.
I'm based in the US - what is a good way to get ahold of a German phone number for SMS codes? I was thinking maybe Twilio (I'm a software engineer and I've used them before) but it's kind of pricey at $6/month and requires a local address. My dad has a German P.O. box but I'm not sure if that counts. I was going to wire it up to just forward SMS messages to his email.
Is there another way? I know this use case is pretty specific, but I thought if anyone knew about getting VOIP numbers it would be privacy folks!
