Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I'm using AWS S3. I've got a script on my RPI that runs daily and uses the AWS CLI to sync my photos etc to there, and stores it as Glacier storage.
It's about US$9 per month for 800GB of storage, at that time it was the cheapest and most convenient.
You can get a 1TB storage box at hetzner.com for €3.81 per month. For about €13 you get 5TB. I was on S3 first and moved to the 1TB box because it's significantly cheaper.
How are your speeds? I tried one but as I'm in the US it was very slow, around 20 Mbps upload. With Wasabi S3 I get around 800 Mbps.
I wasn't sure if it was the distance/latency, or if the boxes were just throttled a lot due to the low price.
No idea, really. I use SCP and incremental backups, so speed is not quite an issue for me. The initial load I just started and didn't care how long it took. I am in Germany, as are my server and the storage box.
