Well it seems like we're hitting Vercel's usage limit so we'll be moving to a self hosted instance of the files' index.
This will run on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) located in Virginia.

Vercel's instance was actually also running in a U.S. data center so hopefully latency won't be that different.

Anyway I will make another post once the migration starts...

For now you can access the beta of the self hosted instance here: beta.unetlab.cloud and beta.unetlab.ml

I'll make an offer even tho it might be unlikely anyone's got a spare VPS for this...

Would you like to help contribute to the development of our index?

Decentralization would be of great help for keeping the project going by reducing latency for people from different areas.

You can help achieve this by hosting the index on your own Virtual Private Server (VPS).

We welcome everyone who meets the security requirements for their VPS and has proven to be trustful.

By hosting the index on your VPS, you can help us expand the reach and reliability of our index, while also reducing latency for users from different locations.

Once we verify that your VPS meets the requirements for hosting the index, you'll be added to the official list of mirrors.

Please note that this project is 100% free and we only receive donations. These donations help us cover the costs of domain renewals and porting images from different sources. While we'd love to remunerate you, unfortunately we can't, as we don't make any money ourselves.

If you're interested in helping us out by hosting the index, please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll answer any questions you may have.

Thank you for your interest in supporting our project!

Well guys remember I was looking for a new free storage solution? This might be it...

(Just kidding but it'd be interesting to see how 1.5+ TB of files turn out to be in a YT playlist 😂)

Hello everyone, important message ahead!

I've been running this site for a little over a year now and many things are more clear to me since then.

When I bought the domain name "unetlab.cloud", I didn't think I might would be infriging UNetLab's copyright and license by including the word "unetlab" in it.

I respect open-source licenses and I wouldn't like to create confusion among users and give the impression that my website is associated with or endorsed by UNetLab Ltd.

So, in order to avoid that confusion I'm considering changing the domain name.

Another reason to change the domain name is that we could start using .eu.org as TLD.

.eu.org domain names are free and I think it would fit better to the site since it's not commercial.

We might end up switching to it anyway if unetlab.cloud becomes unaffordable so why not change the domain name too?

Many users are already familiar with unetlab.cloud but I think we can keep the same user base even if we change the domain name.

Anyway, enough talk I just wanted to see your opinion on that matter.

Next I will open 2 polls, first one is to see your opinion about the possible change and the second one is for in case you're ok with the change what domain name would you prefer.

If you have any extra comments please put them below or join the group to discuss about it.

C'mon guys vote! Less than 50% of people who saw the polls have voted so far 😂
Polls will close tomorrow? today at 6:00 p.m. CST GMT -6 / 12:00 a.m. UTC

I should've stopped the polls an hour ago but I forgot. Consider this a grace period of time lol

Anyway, according to the polls the changes will be well received by the community.

The new name for the repositories project will be LabHub and the domain name will be labhub.eu.org

P.S.: You probably noticed already that the icon was changed yesterday. We'll use it from now on the matters related to the images repositories.

Remember ishare2's project is different so that name won't actually be changed.

We will announce here when the domain name migration is ready which will take a couple weeks. In the meantime you can keep using known domain names until they expire.

Just noticed some users sent emails to contact@unetlab.cloud
Sorry I didn't reply before. I will try to check it more often 😅
Actually the new contact email will have a different domain name too so I'll share that later too…

Hey there! Just wanted to give you a heads-up about ishare2's web frontend. Mati did an awesome job creating it a while back. Have you had a chance to check it out yet?

Well, I recently took that frontend and made some tweaks to it (with Mati's help, of course).

The changes turned out pretty sweet, and we're actually planning on releasing a new version of it soon.

But, if you're feeling adventurous and want to give it a spin before the official release, you can check out the installation instructions over at our GitHub page: https://github.com/ishare2-org/ishare2-web-gui#installation-as-root

Note that it is not 100% ready yet, and it's still lacking many features which will be added in coming versions. Let us know your feature requests and we'll consider adding them in the future.

Thanks for your interest, and happy sharing!

Here's a sneak preview of the new homepage for ishare2's web frontend.
As you can see, we've made some pretty significant updates to the design and functionality. We're really excited to share the new version with
you soon, so keep an eye out for updates!

Hello everyone, quick update...

cat9kv, timos-21.10.R1 are now live on ishare2 as well as the main repositories.

Note that legacy repositories are no longer being updated due to the storage restrictions imposed by Google.

Thanks to everyone for contributing your images ❤️

Community contributions are really helpful as this project is widely powered by them!

P.S.: I will try to notify you about new images per week if any.
If they're too many then it's less likely I would mention them all but you can always check the site or ishare2 yourself and find out :).

A couple weeks ago we noticed some sort of quota limit messages when downloading a file either by ishare2 or directly from the repositories themselves.
You might encounter a message like the one in this screenshot.
Tho it was very unlikely to happen, we're somehow hitting that quota. If you face this issue, all you have to do is wait for 2 minutes. Please don't retry before that time or you'll get limited for longer.

Finding an affordable & good storage provider nowadays is becoming quite difficult but we'll see how we can prevent this from happening or find another solution...

You will start seeing this pop-up in coming hours when visiting unetlab.cloud
Remember that it will soon expire, we'll be updating documents referring to the old domain in these days

Hi everyone!
Good news! I finally had some time to organize images I had pending to release publicly over a month ago.
Since they're a lot I won't write them all in this message, instead I'll upload a txt file with the tree list of the files that were added.

A new update was done to UNETLAB II:

There are still some images pending to be added and remember it takes a little longer for ishare2 to show the latest additions, but the lists will be added in coming hours...
