I know this is self hosting, but I would probably just drop them in a S3 bucket with static hosting enabled and be done with it. Never have to worry about availability or big transfers eating up your upload at home. Probably wouldn’t cost more than a dollar a month.
OP, please do this. If you are dealing with other people's photos professionally, a home server is in no way adequate storage for that except as part of a proper backup policy (3, 2, 1 or something else with redundancy).
My concerns right now are this is the second time I've had space issues with my hosting service and when something goes wrong, it's easy to diagnose which service is causing it (wordpress or host). Do those concerns sound valid for what you're suggesting?
An S3 bucket won’t have a hard cap. You pay a small amount monthly based on how much storage you use. Here’s a good guide I found: https://pawlean.com/2020/07/15/how-i-use-aws-s3-to-host-images-on-my-blog/
Perfect! Thank you for the link.
Id second the s3 idea as youre hosting data for professional reasons. Backblaze and cloudflare also offer s3 compatible storage, when i priced them up for work cloudflare was by far the cheaper option. But iirc their s3 api is still under development and is not ( at the time i used it) feature complete. We had some trouble generating pre-signed urls. But if you just want some place to store data these are worth a look
