Image upload to external hosting

[fievel]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My instance is now blocking image upload for legal issues due to bots uploading CSAM. Anyway a lot of instances are limiting size of image upload due to obvious financial reasons.

Describe the solution you'd like

Could be very nice to implement a configurable external image hosting provider, so the "embed image button" could upload to the configured service instead of the instance if the setting is enabled.

Additional context

After upload to external service, the url of the image should be retrieved and added to the markdown post/comment with syntax ![](url).

Example services:

• https://vgy.me/
• https://imgur.com/
• https://lutim.lagout.org/

Hi there!

Voyager will not support image upload from a privately owned/"single instance" upload service for various hopefully obvious reasons.

Instead, if there is a viable self-hostable, open source option that supports CORS, I would be open to adding support for that service's API. If so, please create a new issue with a proposal, and outline the upload API. Thanks!
