[server] Improve the architecture diagram (#1105)

Browse source

Add a dotted arrow between museum and the hot object storage to indicate
that clients talk directly to the primary S3 storage.

This has confused some users who were trying to setup self-hosting, them
not realizing that the minio buckets need to be accessible outside the
container.

The actual flow is - for both GET and PUT, museum conjures up pre-signed
URLs by talking to the S3 bucket, and vends these pre-signed URLs back
to the client. Thereafter though (unless routed via a Cloudflare worker,
which is not the case when self-hosting), the clients directly connect
to this presigned URL.

Maybe too much information to convey with a single dotted arrow, but at
least it'll give a hint that there is a direct connection there
somewhere.
