More turin! More turin!
More turin! More turin!
Thanks for the heads up.
I can see indeed how much space I use in my subdomain ( i see the 10Gb ). But there is no section called « quota » in the admin panel - or I haven’t found it yet. Do you know where to find it ?
Currently I don’t know how much my usage is compared to the max capacity I’m entitled to
more turin @labze show some love to people on other side of the world
Aaaaah I found it.
It’s in the evo/user/stats/usage url from dashboard
Yeah sorry for not describing better very tired ATM
Good that you found it 
@labze please restock the coupon codes for cpanel shared hosting packages. I got 1 last year and want to buy more this year.

I bought a 1TB storage box which offers immediate compatibility with Borg backup.
I am extremely satisfied, and I am backing up my server data to it (300GB).
The speed is approximately up to 35MB/s, limited by the latency between my server and the storage box (about 50ms).
Does DA storage boxes support jailed SSH? I would like to use rsync/rsyncd.
Good to know. Does the box has SSH access? rsync?
SSH is OK.
$ rsync -V
rsync version 3.2.7 protocol version 32
Took the brr, hate waiting time for activation… but well, noice offer really.
MOAAAAAAAR TURIN
MOARRRRR
DA packages dropped, now pleeeeease Turins
i missed BIGBFBOX
Yep
Review of the DA Storagebox package: it's great! I got one last year. The old hardware performed good enough. A few weeks labze migrated to new hardware, and it runs amazing! Small enough writes perform fast due to the NVMe/SSD caching, so incremental backups are very fast. Reads used to be limited to 40MB/s, which was acceptable for backgroudn tasks or with a cache. I have never run into any limitations on the new HW.
I use it (among other things) to store my 350GB Immich photo gallery data on it. I have a 50GB NVMe cache in front, and it performs smooth. If you want faster write speeds, then AWS, Azure and friends will happily offer you better performance, but not for that price.
If anyone else wants to use the DA storagebox as a cloud drive, here's my setup: I use JuiceFS over SFTP and the JuiceFS-builtin caching and encryption. I mount the JuiceFS FUSE filesystem on a powerful VPS with less storage and use most of its SSD for the cache. When I do backups, I just mount the same JuiceFS filesystem on my homelab server and copy to local drive.
Before JuiceFS, I used rclone to mount the Storagebox over SFTP, but rclone does not support filesystem statistice (e.g. how much of the FS is used) and file metadata has to be read over SFTP as well, so incremental backups over many small files were slow. Then I changed back to JuiceFS, it runs at a tad more overhead but has much faster metadata query.
By the way, using the Storagebox as a rclone backend over SFTP is great as well - I just copied my rclone config to all my servers and have all my data available.
I wish it was possible to mount ON the box but I've mounted it on all other servers so meh.
Using sshfs and mounting that way; I download on other machines with NVME and then moving to the DA box when the download is complete. Best of both worlds and dirt cheap
EDIT: Oh, I use lolcate (flocate/mlocate/locate fork/remake) to find my files instead of changing to another connection method.
where? I want more
Late to the party, soz
I'm not sure I understand. Fast downloads? I just use wget etc. Or do you mean slow-running ISOs?
I did some experiments with long-running SSH connections to the Storagebox and using statically-compiled binaries or standalone docker executables to get stuff running on there. You can get some stuff to work but mostly due to the very very few open ports you can't get much done. In the end I stopped playing around and just used the sensible way of a normal VPS and remote mounting. In theory you could write a PHP script that does port forwarding on the machine, run that under DA and then have e.g. minio run on the storagebox, (I got minio to run but never outside of the world except for through the SSH tunnel), but it was always way too brittle.
I mean downloading 200 GB stuff at 5 Gb/s
And by mounting I mean by fusefs because that's the easiest, I am too lazy to fiddle with that although I'm sure it could be made to work somehow ^^
Btw, cloud Linux on the HostBrr DA webhosting offer is much more forgiving, allowing eg TMUX and reconnecting to it, but the storagebox DA version has bubblewrap which is just too limiting
Yeah it killing everything and every session being isolated is a PITA but then again that's not what the service is for so I've come to terms with it.
Have you tried seaweedfs?
@Motion3549 yes, I experimented a bit with seaweedfs. The specs look nice, but in the end I abandoned it as I felt it was too complicated for my usecase but I didn't benefit from its strengths (billions of tiny files). I'm not a JuiceFS shill, but I found its fewer options easier to get a good overview.
Did you install on bare metal or use Docker? I would like to set up with Docker to keep the system clean.
