   @silverpill how do mitra media file names work? is it like a hash of the file?

     @fox Yes, it's a SHA-256 hash

     @fox You can, but mitra automatically deletes unused files, and that may lead to conflicts. E.g. an instance deletes a file that is still used by another instance

     @silverpill so in theory i can make multiple mitra instances share media folders without anything breaking?

     @silverpill maybe a system could be implemented so all the instances that share the same storage could talk together

     @fox It's not difficult to disable media deletion but I think you should do it in your fork. I doubt anyone else needs this feature.

     @silverpill i dont know alot about programming, especially with databases and postgresql spesificly is more of a blackbox to me but from what i know/theorise implementing such a system shouldnt be harder then implementing postgresql as a db for a applications, in theory you just have another database with a table where every hash is noted with a exipry data and a true or false statement if the file can be deleted. You could go further and only have one instance delete stuff.
