If you have your own storage VPS isn't it possible to create FTP/SFTP accounts for users that can do the same thing Hetzner does and give them their own quotas?
Yes, if you have your own VPS, you can allocate storage to users as you wish with quotas or partitions for each user.
Partitions I understand, but how do you set quotas for regular user accounts in Linux?
Their
/home/userdirectories is what I'm concerned with. Is there a way to set quotas for how big their normal home directories can be, or is it storage like SFTP/FTP etc that is capable for that?I have not done it before so i do not know exactly how to do it.
But check out tutorial-1, tutorial-2, tutorial-3, tutorial-4
it shouldn't take too long.
Maybe test it out on a idle vps or spin up a temporary vps on a cloud provider with hourly billing.
Do you have root access?
I checked in the Hetzner "Robot" interface, available options for StorageBox sub-accounts are: Allow Samba/WebDAV/SSH yes/no, External reachability yes/no (from outside Hetzner network), Read-Only yes/no.
Don't see anything related to quotas.
