Find and Automate uploads to a cheap file host #4
Description
Hosting of container images is free via the GitHub Container Registry (for now... we should probably have a backup at some point).
Unfortunately there is no obvious equivalent for VM and ISO hosting.
With 5 minutes of research Cloudflare R2 seems like a decent option. It has very limited uploads on the free tier, so we would be limited to one or two VM releases per month, but there is unlimited downloads. As long as the user is instructed to immediately update it is probably fine if they always start from a monthly snapshot. This would actually give a decent opportunity to familiarize users with the update mechanism.
An alternate option might be bittorrents in order to save on my personal bandwidth, but this would similarly not be practical for regular updates since bittorrents don't support pushing out new versions to the same address. In this case it should still only require a single update to download the new bootc image, so downloading an image from 2025 in 2028 and updating shouldn't be a problem, but it might spook users who don't understand how the update mechanism works.
We don't need a final location by the testing release but we should have the mechanisms in place for the GitHub actions to push somewhere on at least a monthly basis.
