    Please, do not install anything in the storage box. It is best to leave it alone.

    is it possible to use ssh to do something?i want to start a iperf3 server to test the speed ,but seems none of the ports open

    Well, yeah, you can use for it a lot of things that are actually functional :-)

    SCP, rsync, rclone, SSHFS, wget, curl and so on.

    I see that DirectAdmin Storage Boxes are still available with the BFBOX coupon, which saves 40% on yearly payments!
    I’m trying to learn something new, is it possible to install self-hosted apps like Immich or Nextcloud on it?

    NextCloud, yes because it's written in PHP! Immich probably not because it requires Docker.

    Unfortunately, after reading many user reviews in the store (Android/iOS), I found that there are too many issues. So, I decided to use Immich for smartphone gallery backup and Nextcloud as a backup solution for my PC.

    Can you recommend a provider that suits my needs?

    I'd still recommend HostBrr storage to do that, but you'll need a VPS near the storage location and mount the storage to it as a remote drive. This way you can make use of the storage freely especially if you know how to use Docker.

    If I'm using VPS SG for Immich, does it reduce latency? Why using SG? because I'm from Asia

  • subbsubb Member

    you need to consider latency between vps and storage, and re recommend to use rclone.

    this storage box work pretty well with rclone.

    Anyone have a tutorial on how to install Nextcloud on this? Thx

    Do it with the Softaculous installer :)

    Forgot about that one, thank you.
    I need to point my domain to the server address.
    Can you tell me what are the nameservers for these servers, or is there another way?

    Thx

    The coupon was applied for Germany, which reduced the price, but why didn't it reduce the price for the USA?

    Real world result:

    • Writing
      I get 25.6 MB/s writing from a VPS (same country as storagebox), and get 3.6 MB/s when writing from my home computer.

    • Reading
      I get 30.5 MB/s from my VPS, and 1.3 MB/s from home computer.

    Usage:

    I'm using it with rclone right now, with the cache turned on. The performance is similar to using a local disk. The copy paste usage is also similar to using a local disk (minus move to trash function).

    Here are the results of the writing performance on my home computer:

    • Without cache:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=./testfile bs=1M count=100
    100+0 records in
    100+0 records out
    104857600 bytes (105 MB, 100 MiB) copied, 29.1344 s, 3.6 MB/s
    
    • With Cache:
    dd if=/dev/zero of=./testfile bs=1M count=100
    100+0 records in
    100+0 records out
    104857600 bytes (105 MB, 100 MiB) copied, 0.144608 s, 725 MB/s
    

    I can post a step by step tutorial on using rclone if anyone interested :)

    can you share the rclone config?

  • @dedipromo said: and will give it a try

    TBH i have the 10 GB package and for 5 bucks per year that thing is flying in terms of speed.

  • @labze said: Ensure you have set the upload limit in DirectAdmin -> PHP settings and chose max upload file size and post max size to an appropriate value.

    Does this apply to rsync via SSH?

    No, rsync via SSH does not run via PHP (settings).

    Can anyone tell me how Box 500GB & 1Tb is different about IO speed, down/up...?
    Does it apply for a refund?
    I haven't used their services yet. Thank you so much

  • laeylaey Member

    @labze said:

    A little question before I decide which storage type to buy, If I purchase 500GB with a promo code and later decide to upgrade to 1TB or 2TB, will the upgrade use the normal price or a discounted price as well?
