After Deployment

After deploying AnonUpload with Server Compass, complete these steps to finish setup

Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:{{PORT}} and upload a small test file to confirm the round trip works

Configure a retention cron on the host that prunes `anonupload_uploads` (e.g. `0 3 * * * find /var/lib/docker/volumes/<stack>_anonupload_uploads/_data -mtime +7 -delete`)

Front the service with a reverse proxy that adds HTTPS, body size limits, and rate limiting per IP

Add a CAPTCHA / Turnstile in front of the upload endpoint if you intend to expose it publicly

Set up disk-space alerts - this service WILL fill the disk eventually under any open access
