I used to mount network attached storage in /mnt until I had problems accessing it from a Snap. In searching for a solution it was pointed out that snaps are correct in being sandboxed from these types of folders, and users like myself are making things difficult for ourselves by using those system folders.
They said the best practice would be to mount them in a folder in your home directory. I've switched to doing that and it works great.
A reverse proxy needs you to forward ports 80 and 443, unfortunately.

Take a deep breath...
If they let everyone upload, the place would likely go to shit really fast. Poor quality uploads, unseeded uploads, uploads that nobody can download because the seeder doesn't have a decent internet connection, viruses, illegal images, you name it.
So of course there's a process. It's up to you to figure it out, so figure it out. The website that I found isn't loading for me right now, but the last time I was looking at it, it was very easy to find the post explaining how it all works, and I don't even have an account there.
Just checking. Anyone can create an account, but uoad privileges there require an application. They have some basic requirements like upload speed, ability to leave things seeded after upload, etc.
I don't know any details because I don't have an account there. I just read whatever is available in the FAQ.
Did you apply?
"Easy" might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.
Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it's not too bad.
Meh, even then. If they're 60MB each that's only 120GB.
Noticeable difference loading the page? Loading photos? Uploading photos?
Photo files are relatively small, so an HDD is absolutely fine.
Oh cool, this looks like something I'd really like. I've been using a paid Android app called Simply Auto which is excellent, but self hosting is more fun.
