For anyone else who was thinking of starting an instance, local storage is still a no-go right now
To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.
Yeah, I wouldn't bother implementing local storage if I could easily roll a local S3 in the docker-compose.yaml.
Cloudflare provides 10 GB of free (forever) S3 compatible storage too.
Yeah but why would I make myself dependent on Cloudflare.
Yes
Good to know, thank you! I haven't touched S3 storage yet in my self hosting journey
It's an exciting world of file-to-object-to-file thunking. I'm surprised when it all works.
