Openinary

Openinary is a self-hosted alternative to Cloudinary that gives you complete control over your media infrastructure.

Openinary is a self-hosted alternative to Cloudinary built for developers and teams who want complete control over their media infrastructure. Instead of routing images and videos through a third-party SaaS, Openinary lets you store and manage media in your own environment. Capabilities Stores images and videos using S3-compatible storage backends such as AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or MinIO Runs self-hosted, so media stays within infrastructure you control Avoids vendor lock-in by relying on standard S3-compatible storage rather than a proprietary platform Removes the usage restrictions typically imposed by hosted media services Who uses it Openinary is aimed at developers and engineering teams building applications that need image and video storage but want to avoid dependence on a hosted provider like Cloudinary. It suits teams already using or willing to use S3-compatible storage such as AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or MinIO, and who need media infrastructure that lives inside their own environment rather than a third-party cloud service. For makers building products with media-heavy features, Openinary fits into the workflow as the storage and delivery layer for images and videos, giving them ownership of that infrastructure instead of routing it through an external SaaS.
