Using S3 compatible service as primary storage for Nextcloud
I tried it 4-5 years ago and performance was bad, but I am trying it now again because it would be nice to have scalable storage for Nextcloud without having to deal with more storage on the server. I set up a test instance using iDrive e2 and it just started syncing a copy of some of my data to test performance.
Is anyone using this kind of setup with Nextcloud? Mind that I mean s3 as primary storage, not external.

I actually found some posts of mine from 2023 while searching. I had forgotten that I tried it again at the time and it seemed to work better. I think I switched to Hetzner's Storage Share in a rare moment when I thought I'd stop self hosting stuff.
I just remembered that Hetzner's got its own object storage service which is is available also in Helsinki, so I am trying that now and it's FAST with me, the server and the s3 service all in Helsinki!
OMG I hope this works well because I have been having a painful few weeks because of my ISP, Elisa, and connection speed problems with providers in various countries, especially Germany - which I mentioned in a few other threads.
