Error message

the legacy upload API is decommissioned and third-party embedding is unavailable

What it means

This is a DestinationUnavailableError, not a runtime failure: the 'photobucket' image host is intentionally disabled because Photobucket shut down its legacy third-party upload/embedding API. Selecting photobucket as a destination always fails with this message.

Solutions

1. Switch the destination to a supported host (imgur, imageshack, flickr, chevereto, vgyme)
2. Remove the photobucket destination entry from your config
3. If you need self-hosted control, set up a Chevereto instance and point the chevereto destination at it

Example fix

// before
{ "kind": "photobucket", "options": { "apiKey": "xxx" } }
// after
{ "kind": "imgur", "options": { "clientId": "xxx" } }

const SUPPORTED_HOSTS = ["imgur", "imageshack", "flickr", "chevereto", "vgyme"] as const;
if (!SUPPORTED_HOSTS.includes(dest.kind)) throw new Error(`${dest.kind} is not a supported image host`);

function isSupportedImageHost(kind: string): kind is SupportedImageHost {
	return ["imgur", "imageshack", "flickr", "chevereto", "vgyme"].includes(kind);
}

import { DestinationUnavailableError } from "./errors";
try {
	const uploader = createImageHostUploader(config);
} catch (err) {
	if (err instanceof DestinationUnavailableError) {
		// migrate config to a supported host
	}
	throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Configuring a blob destination with kind/host 'photobucket', which hits the photobucket case in createImageHostUploader and immediately throws.

Common situations: Migrating old configs that referenced photobucket, or trying photobucket as a free image host unaware the API was decommissioned years ago.
