Pre-flight checklist
Problem statement
The current lock file implementation doesn't actually work because it doesn't have a permanent link available where the client will be able to again download the same dataset.
Proposed solution
Add a feature to support uploading .osm.pbf files to a S3 host where these files will be publicly available for download later. This will only work at first for buckets with public access. Authentication will have to be handled to support file uploads.
Alternatives considered
Geofabrik does make certain files available lonag term. For example, .osm.pbf files are generally for years going back to 2014 on January first. I considered only allowing these to be available when users want to generate a lock file. This still could be an option, but I also want to give user more flexibility when creating lock files and regenerating environments from them later.

Nice to have
