Self hosted solution as alternative to Cloudinary

Hello Rails Community,

I learned to use Cloudinary as an asset manager (1GB, 99% images, 1% videos). It works well, but I’ve reached the limit of the free plan. I won’t pay $99/month for a side-project app, and I don’t use 99% of its functionality.

What is your solution (self-hosted ideally) to deliver assets and potentially resize them by creating variants?

Thanks

What are your requirements for serving assets? Do you need the global distribution of a CDN? If not you can probably let your server serve assets if you have only 1GB traffic/month.

Otherwise I’d recommend choosing a CDN with a more suitable pricing plan, e.g. I use bunny.net and it’s very cheap.

For resizing/variants you can use built-in Rails features.
