Question about direct uploads

[fauno]

I was checking the direct uploads feature, from what I understand the file is going to be uploaded directly to the IPFS API, but this needs to be the uploaders local node or otherwise an IPFS node that's open to everyone, right?

Wouldn't it be better to generate an adhoc URL like DiskService, receive the file and internally upload it to the server's IPFS node that can be local or anywhere else, but not publicly open?

If you're interested I can write a patch, and I think this will remove the need for monkey patching ActiveStorage::DirectUploadsController and ActiveStorage::Blob, unless there's a need for this use case.
