uplink share sj://cakes/ --url --not-after=none --base-url=https://link.us1.storjshare.io

uplink share sj://cakes/ --url --not-after=none --base-url=https://link.us1.storjshare.io

Note that specifying --base-url is optional, but the --not-after is mandatory. If you do not want to specify date or offset - you can specify --not-after=none.

See flags of share command for details.

URL       : https://link.us1.storjshare.io/s/jvguri.../cakes

Also note that the URL uses the same Gateway MT access key, so if you have that already, you don’t necessarily need to run this command to generate a shareable link.

https://link.<region>.storjshare.io/s/<access key>/<object path>

To download content directly, use /raw/ in Linkshare URL ex: https://link.us1.storjshare.io/raw/ju34skavohcqezr6vlfgshg5nmjq/dwebdemo/isthataquestion.mp4

To view the object location map, use /s/ in Linkshare URL ex: https://link.us1.storjshare.io/s/ju34skavohcqezr6vlfgshg5nmjq/dwebdemo/isthataquestion.mp4

Webhosting #

For more detail, visit the documentation on hosting a static website with the Uplink CLI.

While you may share individual objects with the above linksharing instructions, you must share a bucket or object prefix for webhosting. Your web address will render the index.html file.

./uplink.exe share --dns www.mysite.com sj://cakes/ --base-url https://link.us1.storjshare.io

uplink share --dns www.mysite.com sj://cakes/ --base-url https://link.us1.storjshare.io

uplink share --dns www.mysite.com sj://cakes/ --base-url https://link.us1.storjshare.io

=========== DNS INFO =====================================================================
Remember to update the $ORIGIN with your domain name. You may also change the $TTL.
$ORIGIN example.com.
$TTL    3600

txt-www.mysite.com	IN	TXT  	storj-root:cakes
txt-www.mysite.com	IN	TXT  	storj-access:ju3ga56lfk7x...

Use the generated DNS info to connect your domain name to your shared objects.

Note you can use any hostname in place of www.mysite.com in the example. The base-url is also optional.
