I would like to start using floorplans/maps with various device actions on them. This means I need locally stored images, that can be seen over the network.
I managed to upload images to HA, but as they need to be accessed with a token, I either need to refresh the token every day (no), or have an image with a long-lived token (also not a good idea).

How have other people done things?
Is it worth spinning up an http image host?
Or maybe throwing files into an nginx folder inside HA?

Thoughts on a postcard :)

For many years, I've used Weebly to host images, docs, etc, on our website URLs, but they're just static. When I need to do work on my phone or laptop and need that synch'd elsewhere, I use the Microsoft suite, but those are normally Excel charts or Word docs.

I'm more interested in what people are doing for internal hosting, not external hosting services. Thanks for the info, however.
