Load images from netbox storage_backend settings

[ThomasADavis]

We are running netbox in k8s using the bootc helm chart.

I'd like to use a S3 service to load images.

https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/optional-settings/#storage_backend

I'm currently having to update the docker container to add any images.

The link to the docs has changed: https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/configuration/system/#storage_backend

I have neither the experience nor the possibility to access S3 or other storage backends. I don't use docker either but maybe @mattieserver can help here.

If somebody likes to take work on it, please raise your hand.

netbox v3.5 adds some bulk loader stuff.. but need to wait and see what the actual API will be when released.

The remote storage in v3.5 looks interesting, lets wait to see how that is implemented.

If needed i can test with S3.

Is this still relevant? Has anyone tested if NetBox v3.5 is sufficient?
