Share it dude!!!
I built it mostly for my mum and dad so that dad could download MP3 music and mum could download her sewing videos and play them in VLC.
Thing is, the domain is registered to me, hosted on my own metal, and run in my own house. I don't really think I'm smart enough to fully secure and obfuscate my site, but also not dumb enough to let the public go ham on it while exposing myself to legal action from one of the most powerful companies on earth.
If I get time soon, I'll try to spin up a clone with some layers of protection and anonymity, and share that.
opening up the instance is very risky indeed, but I think they meant the source code
Ah, well that I can probably do, once I tidy up my code a bit and properly document the tech stack
