I think I did figure out how to do this, but Photostructure doesn’t seem to like it.
I got rclone to mount an Amazon S3 bucket containing a few pics and Photostructure launches and shows me the initial Settings and EULA screen, and it even creates a .photostructure dir in the S3 bucket, but then it crashes and kills the mount when I click the “Save” button on the EULA screen (i.e., the photostructure container shuts down and the rclone mount dies with “Transport endpoint is not connected”).
FYI, I’m using this to set up Photostructure on a Digital Ocean droplet.
Here’s the Photostructure container log from startup to “crash”:

Shutting down PhotoStructure...
Verifying & backing up /ps/tmp/local-db/models/db.sqlite3...
I’m not fishing for free tech support here, just letting you know my results. Though if anyone does want to help me figure this out, I’d appreciate it. I’d love to get my asset library on S3. I may check out Daniel’s suggestion of BuyVM (below), but then I’d have to figure out how to set up everything on BuyVM (“everything” = photostructure, traefik, syncthing, sftp server; I had a friend create Psodo for me so I’d have to kind of start from scratch on a non-Digital-Ocean platform - though I think cloud-init is pretty universal).
It does this.
