Build a free image hosting with Telegraph

• Free
• Unlimited bandwidth (It will consume the traffic of your VPS)
• No censorship (NSFW image can be uploaded)
• You can upload any file, not just image files

• Single file cannot exceed 5MB
• Access speed may not be ideal in China Mainland

Full enable HTTPS

Client -> Cloudflare Server (Optional) -> Your VPS (Example: Oracle Cloud) -> Telegraph Servers (NL) 

missuo.ru

• a Domain (Make sure it's not blocked by GFW)
• an overseas VPS (Make sure you can access Telegraph)
• Install Nginx

I don't talk too much about simple steps such as domain name resolution and SSL certificate application.

location /upload {
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Methods 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Headers 'DNT,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Authorization';
            if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
                return 204;}
            proxy_pass https://telegra.ph/upload;
}
location /file {
            proxy_pass https://telegra.ph/file;
}

client_max_body_size 5m;

Note: Remove all other useless location related configuration and just keep the two above.

Thanks to my best friend Svend (author of uPic) for guiding the configuration scheme

1. You can change the API URL and Domain to your own.

2. Don't forget to click on the Other fields to add the header information.

1. Connect your server by SSH, then enter your web directory.

cd /www/wwwroot/xxx.com

2. Download the source code on GitHub with wget.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/missuo/Telegraph-Image-Hosting/main/index.html

3. Modify the API https://missuo.ru/upload to your domain.

4. Have fun.

There is no guarantee that the Telegraph will work all the time, as it is on the GFW list. However, when you can use it, make sure to cherish it!
