Your Imgur plugin is great, Do you have plan for a Chevereto plugin ? an open source image hosting software for self host.

Hi @limaor. I personally do not have any plans right now, imgur covers my needs. But if there is a significant demand, I can think of extending the plugin with some other hosting provider.

It’s the first time in my life I hear about Chevereto. What could be the advantages of using Chevereto instead of pasting right to default Obsidian Vault?

Chevereto is an open source image hosting software, it could be used to build a self-hosting image website.

I want to write a blog with Obsidian and publish it using Hugo, Jekyll, etc. Using Chevereto can easily control image resources and not easy to lose.

Now I see your point in using self-hosted solution (Chevereto).

But as I said, in nearest future, I would unlikely add other images hosting providers to the plugin, especially while there is a request only from a single person.
You can do 2 things:

  • open a discussion and see if anyone else would support the idea of adding Chevereto and or other image hostings. If there will be a demand, I will consider extending the plugin (which will unlikely happen in the nearest future, but it is still worth opening a discussion)
  • to achieve your goal right now you can fork the plugin and change it to support Chevereto (there is already one fork supporting other self-hosted solution). I am sure there is not that much effort to replace one upload request/response handling with another :slight_smile:

Indeed, this plugin is perfect for my needs. Moreover, I am relieved to learn from the FAQ that it’s safe to use for some kind of permanent storing.
