Is the file a turnkey XOCE installation?
Yes, simply import it and it turns on from the hypervisor shell.
Just open a BitTorrent client like Transmission. Select File > New and add your source file.
Now your computer starts seeding the file.Then right click on the torrent and select "Copy magnet link to clipboard".
You get something that looks like this:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:147fbb2150e62d9ab1b28c05b22517926e27c882&dn=debian-10.4.0-amd64-netinst.isoIf you put that inside a link you get this:
Debian 10.4.0 amd64 netinstI don't think you need a tracker at all when you use magnet files.
Now everybody in the world that has the magnet link can download and seed it without anything more than a BitTorrent client.
Does it get more serverless than that?
-
Post a magnet link and I'll see if it works.
You can post the sha256 hash of the file and I'll check it when I have it downloaded.

Can the torrent be downloaded without additional tools? Remember, script is designed to run from within Dom0 of CH / XCP-ng, so it isn't recommended to install a bunch of extra stuff.

You'd need transmission-cli, which is just like having an FTP client or similar. Pretty small.
-
Transmission-cli is not available on the hypervisor, so magnets or torrents in general are out. If no one is willing to offer up some space on an existing NC installation that's fine.
We're able to make this work using other solutions, albeit just a bit more of a headache.

@DustinB3403 are you not prioritzing the seed?

It's going and I don't have it limited. Can you hit retry on the file?eee
-
your seed does not seem to stay on consistently.

Sorry about that, it could be that my host is a laptop, I'm trying to make a smaller source anyways if you're trying to offer NC space.

Would Wasabi be an acceptable host for said file? That'd be 8TB x $0.06 = $0.48/month to host the file. I would just make another bucket to store just it in, and make the file publicly accessable.

It would, but we were hoping that it wouldn't have to cost the file is currently 1.7Gb, I'm troubleshooting a curl timeout issue, not sure if its with NC or my host or what. . .
The file currently lives here Direct download

Wasabi has a $5 minimal monthly fee.

Yeah I know, which this is a project I'm working on to just be kind, which is why I was looking to do this at no cost (to anyone I care about, really).

For this small of a project you could just use onedrive or something. There aren't going to be many places to store up to an 8GB file for free and be able to download it whenever you want.

Yeah we are looking at and testing different providers for free accounts, it's all a WIP. There may be issues in xcp-ng as well (looking at a few logs which might cause issues)

I'm already slightly above the minimum for them just from the backups that get pushed to Wasabi, so it really is just that 50 cents a month for me. At less than 2TB that @DustinB3403 posted a little father down, it'd be all of 12 cents.
Remember, they don't charge for downloads.
