MinIO

★ 55k

S3-compatible high-performance object storage server you can run on a single node or a distributed cluster

MinIO does the job of AWS S3 and Firebase Storage, self-hosted. It is AGPL-licensed, so a hosted fork has to publish its changes, and setting it up is an afternoon, not a weekend. AWS S3 bills $5-100+ for it. 55k stars on GitHub.
