*ok, looks like we're not going to have enough capacity for 15 movies. :biden-forgor: Pina tells me there's enough for maybe 5 though.

If you have any solutions let me know. If not, we're only going to do a few and possibly spread them out with slop already on youtube.

My apologies :cri:

    What I described above is setting up a very lightweight cloud compute instance and then running a tool (Nextcloud- a Google drive-like application that can be self-hosted) on that instance (preferably through Docker).

    So long as that instance isn't broadcasting its existence to everyone, there's pretty much a 0% chance that Oracle would ever manually scan an instance to see what data was sitting on the block volumes (and contractually they probably can't without cause).

    I don't really know how cytube handles external media under the hood, so I may be off base here about whether this is a real solution or not.

    Short explanation assuming the instance is up

    1. Users upload media through nextcloud web interface (limited to select trusted users)
    2. Shareable link to media is created using nextcloud interface for content to be streamed through live.hexbear (CyTube)
    3. Media is added to live.hexbear and streamed to users

    I assume this is how it already works (just with a different file host than Nextcloud on a cloud compute instance).

    If you ping the people who set up the CyTube instance that's served at live.hexbear they can probably weigh in on if this is a good way to handle the problem. I would but I just don't know who the people to ping are.
