plenty of software options available. renting a VPS is dirt cheap. what are you waiting for?

Because I already do using better software than those.

What's wrong with the existing imageboards?

I said "Didn't your mom taught you not to poop in public?" again and again for YOU! :D

>plenty of software options available.
That's not the problem. If I'm a nocoder who can't fix bugs, no amount of nano clones will help me. Do free software devs expect all users to also be devs just because the source code is available?
>renting a VPS is dirt cheap.
Sounds scary. Would rather host from my own computer but that's probably an even worse idea. How to rent VPS anonymously? How to ensure that the VPS owner doesn't mess with the site contents? And much more...
>what are you waiting for?
[bold: If I could have, I would have.] Makes me angry that I can't. Go ahead and make fun of me OP. Because that's what this thread is about, ultimately. Feeling good about yourself that you can do it while others cannot.

>I'm a nocoder
There's your problem *****. Stop using computers.
>Do free software devs expect all users to also be devs
Not the end user of course. But the server's admin is obviously supposed to understand what the ***** they're running and adapt it to their needs.

Honestly, putting up an hidden service is braindead easy. You don't even need to open ports through your firewall.

i can confirm

>Do free software devs expect all users to also be devs
That's why it's free. If you want somebody to fix bugs and give support on demand then you need to pay them.

>That's why it's free.
no
the real reason is bc youre given the right to repair something by yourself
but also the responsibility

what is a VPS

Very Precious Smug

VPN/sometimes Tor, cryptocurrency. Bought a million VPSes that way already. And you can encrypt your whole rented machine. Hosting from your home connection even as Tor-only is foolish and a security hazard.

The *real* reason people don't want to host an imageboard is because they don't want to do the dirty work: promoting it to actually get users, sweep up (*****) spam every single day, get complaints from users daily, etc. But nobody here is willing to admit that.

i have not hosted my own hidden services yet because i do not know what i even want to host or how not to ***** up basic opsec. i would like to host something to make some pocket money but i doubt anyone wants to spend money for anything at all that is not illegal and i do not want to do anything illegal. maybe i want to host a forum that i wrote myself but a forum alone will not get users it needs something that brings people together. maybe i want to write some programs and sell them but like nigga who the ***** would download and run programs off the dark net lol. or even pay for it? people do not even want to pay for programs on the clear net how am i even going to get people to buy my shit on the dark net. or if i give it away for free or give the source why would they not just mirror it in the clear net?
P48547
like can they not just access your vpses console or something or just snapshot the memory? yeah i would like to host it on my home connection but even i am not that foolish. correlation attack and a security nightmare if someone gets into to a machine in your home network. image boards are prone to ***** spam because it is the ***** culture that has developed around them. if things are going too well users still complain lol. but yeah who the ***** wants to shill on the internet for free or be a free janny that has to always clean up other peoples vomit.

nobody wants to host the boring toxic weeb nano crowd

Why start your own dead imageboard when there are so many preexisting ones?

Do it, faggot. Zip file's in the OP.

I haven't tried picochan yet but lambdaplusjs is a greatest archive software among the two (not perfect because you cant add tags, categories yet).

P49011
>archive software
Use gelbooru, calibre or anything else. Wtf, why do you use an imageboard for archiving stuff?

P49013 because having posters posting on your site is *****ing useless and you wont earn anything from it. If you paid for stuff and you have your own site for access, it saves you a lot and no one is going to delete your files as it is being hosted on your server.

< why do you use an imageboard?
> because I don't want people posting on my site
???

P49020 those people are threat to society, they should kys. I'll have tried many ibs but none of them has lock feature where you can lock threads or better the whole site so only admin can post

P49026
>feature where you can lock threads or better the whole site so only admin can post
You know you can host the site locally it doesn't have to be internet facing.

P49026
*****ing codelets, I swear.
In post.lua:
> if (form.modpassword or '') ~= '' then
> post.moderator = login.verify(form.modpassword)
> if not post.moderator then
> return write(rejection('incorrect password', '403 Forbidden'))
> end
> else
> return write(rejection('only admin can write', '403 Forbidden'))
> end

I still don't understand why you would want an imageboard software for that purpose, when actual archiving/library software exist.
Mount your disks as RAID (1 or higher), if you don't want to loose your files when your disks die.

>using a web service designed to be public and to be used by many users as a personal archive
oh god what the ***** are you even doing, what the hell is your dysfunction?
just use hydrus network or whatever the *****
just use your *****ing filesystem maybe?
>but muh webapp
you *****mers are all mentally ill I swear
consider removing yourself from the gene pool
>none of them has lock feature where you can lock threads or better the whole site so only admin can post
>HE DOESN'T EVEN RUN IT LOCALLY
HAHAHAHAH
oh god oh god what the *****
just go back using google photos you are too *****ing retarded for this stuff

P49029
P49035
I assume they want the archive to be public, but that only them can add new content to it.

>P49036
What is SFTP?

P49038
Can you make the archive public with SFTP?
In any case, a web interface certainly has some advantages. For example, a web interface can include thumbnails, text descriptions, hyperlinks and a tag-based search bar.

P49038
FTP but worse

P49034 thanks it works pretty well

P49034

Now the whole site is locked. I need to allow only /tech/ board. How do I do that?

>renting a vps
>not hosting a chan on your shitty raspberry pi hidden somewhere you forgot
I actually did that few years ago and it worked fine enough. It was NNTP-Overchan and people were actually using my node too.
***** spam wasn't that big of a deal. It was more like clueless darknet normie retards spam.

>And you can encrypt your whole rented machine.
How? They can read the RAM extract the key.
>Hosting from your home connection even as Tor-only is foolish and a security hazard.
If anything it liberates self hosting.

P49135
>Hosting from your home connection even as Tor-only is foolish and a security hazard.
The only security hazard I can see is if the feds are already onto you they can cut off your internet connection and see if the onion site goes down. But you're already going to jail at that point.

P49140
>the only security hazard
Just stop posting, take down all your server and lurk for 100 years god the amount of bad takes in a single thread, you are clearly too dumb for hosting services.

>tfw you have to disagree but can't even think of an actual argument so you just get mad and call people names instead
Okilly dokilly.
