Does this support any S3 compatible target? Minio? Backblaze B2?

chrisMyzel• 2 years ago

it says 's3 compatible', it has an ENDPOINT parameter, it shows an example in the readme setting up a minio-server via docker compose. I'd say yes :)

sjcotto5• 2 years ago

yes, any s3

I submitted some fixes to make it work in Backblaze B2: https://github.com/goshops-com/clipshare/pull/1

Thank you for taking the time to do this.

This is actually really cool. Thanks. Although it would be nicer if the bucket name (clipshare) was not hard wired into the app, and you could select your own bucket.

The readme could also do with highlighting the hardwired name fact. Also more detail on bucket permissions would be helpful maybe?

Funnily enough, I stumbled on the hardwired name bug. I submitted a fix: https://github.com/goshops-com/clipshare/pull/1

Take a look at https://screenity.io/en/, which is also fully open-source here: https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity

While a Chrome Extension (not a standalone app), it does a fabulous job of recording system audio and input, and also gives a ton of additional features like annotations, etc.

Records to localstorage, and lets you export to a variety of 3rd party platforms (I can't remember if S3 is supported OOTB, but that shouldn't be too hard).

I've used it mainly with GDrive, as most of our team lives there, so this has been a seamless way to store and share videos without lock-in at Loom.

I recommend this to most folks who need a quick way to replace Loom, and even meeting recorder tools.

I have taken a look at screenity, and I like it. I really like the fact that it is totally local. Thanks for sharing.

will take a look

This is awesome!

May I add a feature request? Can we record audio and video separately from the screen recording? Trying to click and narrate is really hard for me and causes me to do many takes to get the video right. I’d love the ability to do these independently and then combine.

interesting!

If you could integrate R2 then it'd be possible to host the content without any bandwidth fees. https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/

Or maybe it's already supported? Cloudflare's page states R2 is "S3-compatible".

sjcotto5• 2 years ago

yes, we actually use it internally with R2
