unc_media_store

A wordpress plugin to sell media files (e.g obs recordings) from a nextcloud storage via Stripe

requirements:

a nextcloud share
a stripe account
a linux server where OBS runs on. Windows is not supported
a linux cronjob running the same machine as the files are located to create thumbnails (optional)

You regularly add files to a nextcloud folder and want to sell them on online but you are not able to maintain a permanently updating list of files in a webstore environment such as woocommerce
You need a system that allows you to just know what files are there and let people browse them and buy them via an interface online
you do not want to give a sales share to a pre-service to the credit card processor
you do not want to setup a complete backend server for payments like paypal requires since 2023

You run a script through a cronjob that sorts the files into directories based on their date
You run a script through a cronjob that creates thumbnails for your videos
You run a script through a cronjob that gives your files names with enough info for users to buy them

There is a machine that regularly records videos via OBS. OBS is configured to store the files in a folder inside of a nextcloud share automatically.
you use the script in /tools/gallery_cron.php to sort, rename files and create thumbnails
This plugin creates an end-user interface that can be shown in a wordpress page to via the shortcode [ums_show_interface]
the interface allows users to browse through the files by date
only when a user clicks on the buy-button, the system creates a product on the stripe server and forwards the user to a page on the stripe server to purchase the file
once the user has completed the purchase, they are redirected back to the wordpress page. At this point only, the system creates a nextcloud share and sends the share link to the customer for download

there is no need to touch the files. Everything is automatic
there is no need to maintain a product list
only files that are purchased will be shared via nextcloud. There is not need to pre-generate share links
only files that are purchased will be created as products on stripe. There is no need to manually maintain a list.
no need to run a payment server environment. Everything is done via the Stripe API
no need to maintain a payment page. The stripe hosted payment page is used.

install the plugin
configure the nextcloud login & stripe secret keys. You can use restricted keys. The permissions need to be WRITE for Proructs, Checkout Sessions, Prices and Payment Links.
