woot thx for the mention @x1arch
I've been pretty happy with e2 so far:
https://www.idrive.com/s3-storage-e2/pricing
Me too, but when they rise prices, I switched to my own storage. 99$/y for 2tb plan it's too much, you can every year register a new account for 50% discount and move your data from old to new one. But it still two times more expensive than you can take here. I started idrive in 2023 with 8€ per 2tb with prolongation price €24, but then, after few months it change to €46, now it 99/y. 😵💫
If you have 2-3 x machines idling - self host Garage S3 - I got yggdrasil working (self healing encrypted ipv6 mesh) - I saw it mentioned on the Garage site - to secure the S3 cluster replication
What about overhead yggdrasil and direct connection? Did you test it? Maybe compared with zerotier/tailscale? Do you use manual peering? Interesting thing, looking something to replace my ts setup.
So far I've only compared netbird ipv4 / yggdrasil - ygg seems to be 1ms faster on pings. I don't connect to any public endpoints so I just have a private network with manually configured peers.
ygg seems quite nice (less moving parts to go wrong - a single daemon without any dependent services - compared to netbird) -the ygg daemon uses around 30mb of RAM (0.5% of 6gb) - & practically no cpu when idle (0.7% of 4 cores every 4-5 seconds in htop)
I do like the netbird DNS integration & run Knot DNS primary / secondaries in rootless podman over it. Zone transfers can be secured with mutual TLS. The
knotcclient gives you a terminal to update DNS records. As long as your primary is not down for more than 96 hours your remote secondaries will work (so run dual primaries) .QUICalso supported.With netbird now you can close your SSH port too
I tested it:
Tailscale (headscale): 150mb/s
Zerotier (ztnet): 125mb/s
Wireguard: 250mb/s
Nebula: 32mb/s
Yggdrasil: 500mb/s
Internet connection: 1gb/s
Cross-node connection: 10gb/s
All test's makes in direct connection mode, without relays.
Check out ovh object storage aswell they added free egress

using them for a while to host some old data about 234.83GB for 1.88$/month
@systemfreaks - Can I upgrade storage and keep promo price in future?
Yes
@systemfreaks did you discontinue the SG location?
It's cutently available only for bulk orders 100TB +
Mega was just shilling their S3 storage over at r/homelab.
Looks like it's the cheapest solution, unless you want to roll your own. Their 3 TB plan is $10.
Never used them. Not affiliated. Note colorful history and current ownership.
