  Fun suggestion… could be useful to have as a side hack if congestion becomes an issue but I doubt it would come to that. They have what seems to be a high-end switch with 20 or so ports and internal fans.

  The event is ~2—3 hours or so. If someone needs the full Debian (80 gb!), I think USB 2 would not work in that timeframe. USB 2 sticks may be rare, but at this event there are ppl with old laptops that have no USB 3 sockets. A lot of people plug into ethernet. And the switch looks somewhat more serious than a 4-port SOHO… it has like 20+ ports with fans, so I don’t get the impression ethernet congestion would be an issue.

  I think they could do the job. I’ve never admin’d an NFS so I’m figuring there’s a learning curve there. SAMBA, well, maybe. I’ve used it before. I’m leaning toward ProFTPd at the moment but if that gives me any friction I guess I’ll consider SAMBA.

  Two possible issues w/that w.r.t my use case:

  • not in official Debian repos – not a show stopper but definately points against it for installation and maintenance burdons across migrations
  • apparently read-only access for users. This is fine in simple cases where I would just be sharing with others, but a complete solution enables users to share with others on the same server by uploading. Otherwise everyone with a file to share must run rejetto hfs.

  Nonetheless, I appreciate the suggestion. It could be handy in some situations.

  oh, sorry. Indeed. I answered from the notifications page w/out context. Glad to know Filezilla will work for that!

  I use filezilla but AFAIK it’s just a client not a server.

  Indeed i noticed openssh-sftp-server was automatically installed with Debian 12. Guess I’ll look into that first. Might be interesting if ppl could choose between FTP or mounting with SSHFS.

• Peertube is part of the fedi. So is it possible for a peer tuber to post a video to a Lemmy or Kbin community?
