What are some features you'd want for your selfhosted #Blossom server?

A blossom app for my umbrel that I can put behind a cloudflare worker URL and post to! Also I would like to whitelist npubs so no one spams it ofc (not sure how blossom works)
Lol I hate umbrel, but I got scammed into buying the umbrel home last year so still using it 😂
Shouldn't be too hard to set up a Blossom server and webapp in Umbrel as they're just Docker containers IIRC. Haven't looked at Umbrel in a while though so not sure what's needed. Whitelisting npubs is definitely an important feature.
Well, the server will be the thing that accepts uploads and gets the images from wherever they are actually stored (either on disk, in a cloud storage, etc). But maybe the thing you want most atm is a tutorial for how to set up a selfhosted Blossom server? What I'm really asking would be what people want it to do besides supporting the Blossom protocol. E.g. npub blacklist/whitelist, rate limiting, filetype filters, account system & payments, etc.
Got a VERY alpha software Blossom server impl going on here, written in rust: https://github.com/0xtrr/cherry-server. It probably has a bunch of bugs and is not tested well enough so nobody should use it yet. It currently has pubkey and mimetype filters and works behind nginx. Code is a mess and I've probably pulled in more deps than needed. Depends on a sqlite3 DB to keep track of file references and blob descriptors.
Good question! Blossom is simply put a protocol for storing and retrieving files. I guess you could think of it like imgur for all kinds of files mixed with some nostr functionality. If you're interested in the technical details, you can find the protocol documents here: https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom
Happy to get more dev eyes on cherry-server! I'll happily accept patches or GitHub issues. I'm running Hzrd149's blossom-server software which has worked perfectly fine (written in TypeScript though): https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server. Not going to migrate over to cherry-server as my main until I'm sure I've gotten rid of most of the bugs.
Nothing's like testing in production, right? Awesome, I'll check out the PRs soon!
If you need to test Blossom endpoints, I built a small CLI tool to generate auth events btw https://github.com/0xtrr/blossom-auth
