And how would this be implemented in a peerhub node? I remember that one of the things I gave up on was peerhub storage, it is not compatible with IPFS or other protocols. I have been looking for some ideas on how to implement these storages but my search has not been very satisfactory.

Possible new methods for Blurt image storage
Our Peerhub software includes an option patch for peertube server. In this patch, we can include the integration with jackal, storj, walrus, etc.
Neither peertube servers, or our Peerhub software use IPFS at all. IPFS (as we proved years ago) is not suitable for real-time environments, especially streaming. We even re-wrote IPFS and many of its modules in C-lang just trying to speed it up, but IPFS is just not suitable.
For remote storage on some Peerhub powered sites, we currently use minio over s3 protocol which is lightning fast. We use https://agori.host for these kind of services. For streaming, we needed that level of power, attack resistance and low-latency.
Check out jackal, walrus and storj when you get a chance. If we can get a little bit of funding, I will setup a PoC for Blurt to jackal and run some benchtests to get us the proof we need. This would ultimately decentralise Blurt even more, as well as provide a better quality of service with lower latencies.
when you mention this, is the plugin in development? or is it some kind of private patch from you guys? as I mentioned I am a fan of peertube, however I could never figure out the storage issue a few years ago. Maybe with your enlightenment I can solve this riddle, thanks for responding.
It's a patch we continually develop as new advanced features are being added to our Peerhub software. See the descrip of the patch here:

As for distributed storage, we use minio over s3 with webmin and zabbix monitoring currently, but would really like to move up to ultimate file permanence and the elimination of the humans in the middle between master and slave nodes which jackal can provide. Jackal is available in the Cosmos (IBC) ecosystem of blockchains. Jackal's nodes are run by freedom loving experts too, not corporate types, which for me is very important in whom I work with.
