I’m contemplating a self hosted file storage that can be accessed
externally via eg example.com/exampleStorage/example.jpg.

Is there recommended software to do such things?

System spec is Debian, 32GBs of RAM, AMD Ryzen R7-5700U, 1TB of NVMe
SSD

Any webserver can and will do that. I think you left a few details to
give better advice.

Lol, what are you trying to host with 32 gigs of ram! NFI what you are
trying to do, but yes with that it's possible, but there are a million
ways to skin a cat. I'd use object storage firstly if possible, no
point dealing with servers if you don't have to.

ahh, you're right


\- it should be usable sorta like a google drive by people with authn
(i.e. me and a few friends)

\- the link it generates should not expire per se

some gameserver with friends, some IT projects, some basic ML stuff
and quite some of my codebase

Oh so not just storage then. You just need a domain and setup DNS
records to whatever services are running on your server(s).

I do have domains managed under cloudflare, but the thing I'm asking
is that I want a software which can provide a web-based panel for
authenticated users to upload and generate permanent links

Maybe Pingvin?  https://github.com/stonith404/pingvin-share

Nextcloud is a fully selfhosted google drive alternative. You can
share folders and files, bjt the file name might not be directly
visible from the sharing URL

My main server has 256 🤔

I just got pingvin to work, and launching it in docker is surprisingly
simple. Took me 45 mins on a iPad connected on ssh.
