Does anyone have a recommendation for someone with a domain name and a k8s cluster where I can set up a simple image and/or video host?

I don’t want to have to use Imgur anymore, and am more than capable of setting up cloudflared, and just want to share a screenshot or two, or perhaps show some friends something cool in a video game without having to go through YouTube or Twitch.

Why would you use k8s for image hosting?

I use bucket storage from my cloud provider with a subdomain. With this kind of setup you can get access control and a CDN out of the box.

Yep, k8s is for people who need regular capacity scaling and high availability. Self hosting images is a static website, perfect for an S3 bucket or similar

I guess if you were an image host running a thumbnailing service or something 🤔

I mean it has longhorn and NFS storage providers, k8s would just be for the services cause it’s easy to deploy and manage.
