Migrating pictrs from block storage to object? (rabbitea.rs)

Hey everyone, new instance admin here after following the Ansible setup.

I'm curious about how to switch from block storage for images to object storage - it's marked as possible in the documentation but I'm not sure how to do so when the application is dockerized (as it is on a standard install.)

Any other instance admins have advice?

I mounted an S3 bucket to my VPS using s3fs, and set that as the folder for pict-rs. I haven't noticed any issues with this method yet.

It might also be possible to do using docker storage drivers, but I haven't looked into that.

Hmm. Hooking fs willy nilly might present some unexpected challenges.

Hmm, I wasn't aware yet that pict-rs has built in S3 support, I was looking at docs for an older version. For anyone else looking for the docs, you can find them for v0.3.3 here.
