So, I finally have a decent upload speed (150Mbit/s) and as I had a Pi 4B 4GB lying around I decided it's time to do something I've been thinking about for a long time.
I want to make my own server so I can host videos and photos I want to share with friends and family without having to rely on compression and filesize limitations of common messaging apps or YouTube.
Question is: How do I go about doing that?
I already own a web domain, I have a Cloudflared tunnel running on the Pi and the Cloudflare Dynamic DNS IP Updater to create a pseudo DDNS-static IP thing and I've also installed Samba. I don't know if that's good, no idea honestly...
What do I need to complete this? I don't need a step-by-step guide, just point me in the right direction, what utilities I need, etc...
Thanks!
