hahaha lel 😛 But we cannot ignore that Discourse(or docker or whatever) uses much resource, right ☹ By the way, how much does it cost for storing images in S3 monthly?

I didn’t use S3, i just remove the automatic upload of the external image and delete all backup manually. If an user want to upload he can or he can also use an external service like imgur. This way, 20gb is suffisant. For 200 users, S3 is a bit overkill for us 🙂
