I’ve been musing over the best strategy for uploading media to #nostr. Most people can already host a relay but I doubt they’ll want to host their own media, not to mention doing it for others.
Services like nostr.build allow you to upload and will serve your media but I get nervous about it going away one day and losing access to all my uploaded media.
This is where a protocol like #ipfs might be useful. Without doing much in the sense of a media server, you can run the ipfs daemon and pin files you intend to share and use the url of a public ipfs gateway to serve your files.
I’m going to experiment with hosting future media content on ipfs and see how it goes.
