You want images not on local app server disk; do you want to host the files yourself (I.e. on VM disk)? Or are you open to a managed service like s3? What disk consumption are we at? Number of files? What kind of request volume and data throughout are we talking? How fast are those things growing?
Depending on your hosting, S3 may well be less expensive, and it will def be simpler.
If you’re forced to DIY you could look at seaweedfs, which is an HA horizontally scalable blob storage cluster which exposes an S3 compatible interface.
Either way, someing like Pictrs might be nice over some kind of S3.
