self-hosting images in a Next.js project - HELP

[modern girder]

I have a question about self-hosting images in a Next.js project.

I'm building a website that has a gallery section, and I can upload new images from a dashboard. The app is deployed on my own VPS, and I want to handle image storage myself — no third-party services.

What’s the best way to save and serve uploaded images in this setup?

use minio

you host it using docker compose and you are probably going to need a database in which you store image data.
