Hey everyone, new instance admin here after following the Ansible setup.
I’m curious about how to switch from block storage for images to object storage - it’s marked as possible in the documentation but I’m not sure how to do so when the application is dockerized (as it is on a standard install.)
Any other instance admins have advice?

A few days ago I heard from a BeeHaw.org admin that their whole instance only takes 25GB right now. But it’s always good to be prepared to scale up I suppose.
Did you look at the
pict-rsfilesystem command? I haven’t tried it but from the pict-rs docs it looks like it does exactly what you want.It appears the version of pict-rs used in the ansible build is an older one with different commands. I didn’t choose to upgrade it for risk of messing with Lemmy Compatibility.
You figure it out yet? I’m going to be doing the same soon :)
Is it possible to hook up pixelfed to work with? since it is part of fediverse there should be something

I mounted an S3 bucket to my VPS using s3fs, and set that as the folder for pict-rs. I haven’t noticed any issues with this method yet.
It might also be possible to do using docker storage drivers, but I haven’t looked into that.
Hmm. Hooking fs willy nilly might present some unexpected challenges.
Hmm, I wasn’t aware yet that pict-rs has built in S3 support, I was looking at docs for an older version. For anyone else looking for the docs, you can find them for v0.3.3 here.
