Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the new version, images are loaded as Base64 image strings to remove the hard dependency to Azure Storage Accounts, specifically when the Storage Account blob storages aren't public.
However, migrating currently means having to redeploy all the images so that they are in the correct format.
Describe the solution you'd like
Two options:
- Keep images in Storage Account if the Connection String is provided, and use Base64 images when it's not
- The link to the image in the SA can be stored in the db if we want to keep everything in the same place
OR
- Add a migration step that queries images in the Storage Account and transforms them to Base64 that will be inserted into the db
Describe alternatives you've considered
The user can also migrate/reupload the images manually, but it's not very user friendly
