How do you handle image hosting?
English
I would like to start using floorplans/maps with various device actions on them. This means I need locally stored images, that can be seen over the network.
I managed to upload images to HA, but as they need to be accessed with a token, I either need to refresh the token every day (no), or have an image with a long-lived token (also not a good idea).
How have other people done things?
Is it worth spinning up an http image host?
Or maybe throwing files into an nginx folder inside HA?
Thoughts on a postcard :)
HAOS under proxmox.
It’s definitely one of those “many ways to skin the cat” situations!
Why not just run another VM/LXC with nginx in it? Super easy.
That was going to be my backup plan, as I didn’t want to use any more resource if I could avoid it 😅
The good news is, we figured it out, and got the file serving out of /config/www without an auth requirement.
Ah yeah, I’ve heard of Proxmox but have never looked into it. From my experiences, HA is quite flexible so some questions are never that simple. Still worth all the effort though :)
