I’ve been a bit short sighted. I set up my WordPress instance on a server with… Not a huge amount of space. A year or so later, and now I’m running out. I have another server which I could serve files from, and it’s got loads of space. Is there a way that I could get the Wordpress media library to just… Serve and upload from that one instead? Preferably migrate it there as well.
Too many people I find online get some sort of yuppie answer like an expensive plug-in with an Amazon CDN subscription. I just want to homebrew this. I don’t intend to host the major site assets for the site structure on it, and I’m fine with images taking a little longer to load.
It depends on what kind of server this is. If it’s cloud-y, then you can just mount another volume and move everything there.
If it’s a amatatic VPS where you can’t uograde or change it at all, you’re not going to find a performance solution without using a CDN or manually mapping to something S3 compatible.
