Comment on Video transcoding web interface (self hosted)
MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 1 day agoIt was meant to run on a server with pretty much nothing on it but yea, if uploading big files isn’t possible through a browser, I’ll find other solutions. I was hoping files smaller than like 4GB would be fine.
About the storage, I hoped that it would just either load the file in memory, or store during the transcode, then when done, delete the source file and put the transcoded server for a limited amount of time (1h for example), then wipe it (or just wipe it after download)
Possible? Probably.
Practical? Nope!

Yea, I’d take the approach of having the server monitor a folder, and then just drop files in that folder to be converted.
There are a number of ways to transfer files to that folder, tools like FolderSync (Android), Syncthing or Resilio (every OS) can handle this.

Mhh, yea that seems like the obvious workaround, but not the ideal solution
