I've brought up a new KBIN instance, https://feddit.online

It's administrated from the Greater Boston, Massachusetts area. Everyone is welcome to sign up, so long as they follow the rules

I now, because I must be crazy, have 4 Fediverse servers running.

KBIN: https://feddit.online
Mastodon: https://hear-me.social
Calckey: https://bostonsocial.online
Peertube: https://my-sunshine.video

I was hoping to store the images directly in an S3 bucket at Wasabi, which is what I do for Mastodon, Calckey, and Peertube. However, this is not yet supported in KBIN. I think only AWS is supported as a hard-coded option.

I tried setting up a FUSE drive connected to Wasabi and I used a symbolic link to point public/image to it, but, alas, the Symfony framework does not support symlinks. Until external S3 is supported, I have to store the images locally. Ernest did post today that external storage for thumbnails is on the horizon. So maybe all media can be externally stored.

Until then, I'm storing them on the local disk. This weekend I'm going to see if I can set up rclone to automatically synchronize the public/image directory to a Wasabi S3 bucket so at least it will be constantly backed up.

When external S3 becomes an option, I'll move the media folder to the S3 bucket and hook it up.
