Advice for (self hosted) media storage

[Kr0kspluish]

Hi,
I am trying to build a static website and I am glad I came across Sveltia which looks very promising and quite lively :)

I have a concern about media storage so I'm looking for advice. I feel like storing a lot of images in a git repo isn't very clean and I would like to know if anyone has a viable workaround while waiting for Sveltia's media library support for S3 as announced by kyoshino in another discussion or other protocols.
I'm not bound to any existing solution or technology yet so I just would like to know how you guys do it for uploading and storing your media files, so I can make a clean start. Even if you tell me that it's actually fine to end up storing thousands of media files in a git server I can live with it!

Maybe we could add S3 support easily. I’ll let Claude try.

It’s a common request for Netlify/Decap CMS:

• Provide Cloudfront/Cloudflare/Stackpath (S3/GCS) support for Media uploads! decaporg/decap-cms#2035
• Is there a way to use AWS Cloudfront/S3 as a media library? decaporg/decap-cms#7362
• Add support for AWS S3 as a media library decaporg/decap-cms#7543

That would be great! Let me know if you need testing and feedback.

Someone just created issue #586 so we track the progress there.
