Nostr Web Client

I'm trying to post longform video to nostr and I'm not sure what the right way is. Obviously, just posting a link to youtube is the easiest, but I also set up an IPFS node as well as a couple blossom servers.

I tried route96 as well as nostrcheck-server and while they both work for images, if I try to upload a larger mp4 file, the frontend pukes with:

The requested file could not be read, typically due to permission problems that have occurred after a reference to a file was acquired.

Does anyone know what this is about? I have plenty of storage and would prefer to host my own content, but I can't quite find the right way to do that.

I want more storage than that, and I want it to make me more than it costs me, so I'm looking for a solution to host it myself.

I too am at this point. I've extended to the limits of my technical abilities. Nostr just doesn't have this capability right now I'm afraid. It's really holding back adoption IMO.

Well, luckily there's no limit to my technical abilities, just need a hint ;)

Well, you're on the right track setting up a blossom server based on the feedback I received with a similar post about a week ago, but that's all I know. If you figure it out I'd appreciate any info you garner in the process.

It doesn't seem like it's a file issue so much as a frontend javascript issue, but I'm not sure. Images work fine. I'm guessing if I use the API to upload a file it'll work, but I haven't tested that yet and it's not really what I want to do. Might have to. For now, just posting youtube links seems like the most usable way.

I tried nostrcheck server again today and it seems to be working for smaller videos. Interesting, I didn’t change anything.
