Host Your Images with Picsur

picsur

In the nostr community, there are a few image hosting providers that users and apps use. If you'd like to host your own images so you have control over them, you can easily do so with Picsur. It is Beta, but self-hosting images are up to the task.

Go to GitHub and copy the docker-compose file. You will want to use more secure users and passwords since using this for public-facing access.

This assumes you already have Docker and docker-compose installed.

Save the docker-compose.yml and start it to test.

sudo docker-compose up

Go to IP:8080 and log in with admin/picsur. (e.g. http://localhost:8080)

You may want to change your password and enable “Keep original file” under Settings > General.

Once tested, ensure everything works, stop and run as a daemon. Note that you'll also want to uncomment some of the options to secure the database with stronger user/passwords.

sudo docker-compose up -d

You'll also want to put behind SSL nginx reverse proxy or some other.
