in the past I’ve used scripts to upload files to s3 and stuck CloudFront in front of it for geo local caching.

but that’s just using amazon’s infra. if you really want to host your own cdn youd need to geographically distribute servers you own.

if you just want control of files, a vps with a domain name in front will get you pretty far.

I have that already, now I just need to figure out if there are any awesome selfhosting software solutions I can deploy or if I just go for a nginx + FTP solution.

Tbh, I'm not sure I care too much about geo local caching. If someone on the other side of the world use 300 ms extra to load my beautiful robot face so be it 😂
