Hi,

For the record; I’m interested in a working “self-hosted  
one-click-hosting facility” as well.

However OpenUpload works, the progress isn’t shown (which is the part  
which matters for my users) due to first buffering the whole request  
before nginx sends it to its backend (fastcgi or apache2 in my case).  
Older Mails within this list recommend to rewrite OpenUpload to use  
nginx’s 3rd party “upload progress” module.

Regards,  
Christian

yes the lack of a progress toolbar is a great problem for most users
