Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs (sh.itjust.works)

Hi all. Due to the news of the illegal images being hosted on lemmy, I shut down my instance. I read some comments from people stating that they were able to selfhost lemmy without pictrs, they just can't upload or cache photos. I think this is what I am interested in doing at this time.

I tried commenting out the pictrs section of my docker-compose.yml and removed the "depends on pictrs" sections. However, I get the error message in the attached screenshot when I go to my page.

Does anyone have any info on how to selfhost lemmy with image hosting completely disabled?

For now, you can just route /pictrs/ path to 404 so nginx won't serve any image from pictrs:

location ^~ /pictrs/ {
    return 404;
}
