I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/… for my media needs on my vps.
Problem is that I don’t have huge amount of storages and I would like to expand the storage until I’m able to make a personal server ( I don’t have space where I live for even a mini pc rn ).
From the options that I have been considering the contabo ( my vps provider ) storage expansion are quite costly so I have been thinking about hetzner storage boxes or a backblaze b2 bucket mounted with rclone/s3fs.
The problem with backblaze is that I use hardlinks with my *arr suite so to save up on space so I’m not sure if I can mount them preserving the hard links.
What would be your thought or reccomendation? Should I get a hetzner storage box and just mount it or is there anything else I could do until I manage to make my own personal server?
Not sure if this fits your needs but I bought a NAS and mounted it via NFS4 over tailscale to my cloud. Yes, it is slower, but I got 20TB in the cloud
This sounds like a stability horror show. Has that really worked out well for you?
Yes. When loading small images - there is no noticeable difference between local and NAS. When loading videos or large pics - there is about a 2 sec lag, then the video plays normally. I have a 500/500 Mb internet at home and on the VPS side I think it’s a few Gbps. I am consistently pulling minimum 200 Mbps between the two. I set a mount option ,nofail so that my OS boots up when NAS is down/unreachable, and my container also starts up fine with the NAS down, but won’t play its content obviously
Didn’t even occur to me to ask what your upload bw was. That makes sense.
Where I live I don’t have space for evem a rpi4. So the first I need to do is move out of my current home.
