I am running a newly setup Discourse.  
Where do images and file attachments end up? In the same file system as Discourse somewhere?

Can images and attachments be offloaded to Azure Blob Storage?

Images are stored on the same system, but outside the docker where Discourse is running. You can configure the local location in your `app.yml` file.

At this time we do not support Azure Blob Storage for uploads. We currently support Amazon s3, but are open to expanding this. You may wish to review [Extend S3 configuration for other s3 API compatible cloud storage solutions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/extend-s3-configuration-for-other-s3-api-compatible-cloud-storage-solutions/20593).
