I use imgur most of the time, it's super simple and hasn't failed me yet

You can go surprisingly far with a $5/mo Digital Ocean droplet and the Cloudflare free tier. Just host your website the boring way, put CF in front of it and they will cache and serve all of your static content for free.

This is a good workflow and pretty flexible. I would actually recommend NearlyFreeSpeech for hosting and BunnyCDN for caching etc. Turns that $5/month to less than $3/month for low traffic sites.

Saving twelve bucks a year is, well, $12 per year. Better than nothing.

On the same server, my Ghost instance manages it. I have Cloudflare before it all. I wish I'd get to outgrow this setup

When it comes to GitHub repo, what does the URL of the image look like? Is some kind of hash added to the filename? At the moment I use media files from my WordPress blog to store images.

I just add them to an img folder in my Github repository and it is then served as part of the Github page. Just using `src=img/picture.jpg` works fine.

I've used systems like Docusarus[1] (for building my project documentation). It is build from my github project. And I end up with URLs on my server like https://mysite.com/docs/assets/images/connect-to-app-02c6a40...

But I've never tried to link directly to source file, not builded version on my server.

Check out upload.io - it was a refreshingly simple take on Cloudinary etc for me

Looks pretty cool, the UI is certainly a lot better than Cloudinary's.

or $5/year with a cheap VPS https://www.lowendstock.com/

Haven't seen this site, thanks for posting. Interesting seeing so many boxes using NAT for IPv4, wonder how that gets shared, just one person gets port 80 and too bad for everyone else?
