Never realized that Scaleway's object storage is that cheap. I might start migrating my stuff over to them.
Does this include transfer cost? How did you end up with 2.4 / y?
Ingressing(adding data) is free.
It's when you retrieve data that they charge you €0.009/GB for the transfer back to standard tier and a further €0.01/GB for egress traffic after 75GB.
Not sure how well Scaleway Glacier is going to work on a FS mount, in fact I know that JuiceFS wouldn't work with it, but if you're fine just throwing files at it and never retrieving them it is a decent service.
Heard of /dev/null?
Cloudflare R2 looks good too.
It is good but it only accepts data streams, I prefer https://github.com/abbbi/nullfsvfs if you have lots of files
Why? The storage cost is high compared to alternatives, it's not useful for archival. Even the "infrequent use" tier is bad pricing for archival and then adds transfer fees to make it even worse.
Already mentioned services like Backblaze B2 and Scaleway Glacier are far better choices for this usecase. If you have needs other than archival then that's a different story...
Yep, like it
Although I will say Backblaze do have better lifecycle rules if you care about those (AWS probably too)
With Cloudflare all I found was delete objects after x days (+ some specific ones)
With Backblaze I can use ’Keep prior versions for this number of days’ which instead keeps duplicates for x amount of days as I understand it. Very useful (to me at least)
i can host it in my basement .
I find R2 to be good if you don't want to worry about paying egress fees. If you want to store TBs of data, of course B2 is better.
Fuck it, I’m getting the @host_c VM as well. Too good to pass on. DM’d the guy with 37 minutes left of today😆
+1 for @host_c
only storage vps server where I am running Windows RDP
https://devnull-as-a-service.com/one-less-to-go.sh
That’s funny😂
YABS should have that, time it took to find, shuffle and remove a completely random file
Hit me up. I can get ya squared away. 🙂
Its 2euro/TB/mo
He has 100GB so 0.2euro
0.2euro x 12 = 2.4euro
Ingress is free and in terms of egress its paid, but as @emgh aaid its seondary backup so it likely wont be used.
You could bypass €0.01/GB fee by renting Stardust instance (unmetered traffic), mounting drive there and then mounting Stardust as SFTP via rclone. I didnt mention egress as OP mentioned its a secondary backup and likely wont be needed, but I think that price is low that it can be 3rd backup. B2 + Scaleway Glacier seem like great combo and if you'll add Hetzner to the mix its unbreakable
Glacier is S3-compatible, Im not sure why it didnt work with JuiceFS for you. In couple of weeks I'll add it as secondary backup and I'll use FS mount, so if it wont work I'll hopefully figure it out and let you know how to make it work.
I think that I stand corrected on this front after reading the documentation, however I still think it is perhaps not well suited to a filesystem due to reading data back requiring requesting it be transferred back to standard and then waiting what can be hours. However I suppose if your application thats writing to the directory doesn't care about not being able to read files back after writing them, it could work. Feel free to share your findings!
Oh yes, maybe JuiceFS tried to create a read cache and that caused problem? This is a possibility, but at the same time if you have more barebones s3 mount without cache for example rclone mount it should work fine
Yeah that's probably a better way of doing it, the extra considerations for JuiceFS don't strike me as worthwhile if you're using a glacier tier. You just need a place to throw files, which rclone can provide
