    Hmm curious, what’s the cost for something like that? Do you also encrypt / employ any security for the data?

      My total cost for the VPS that runs my stack, plus the Hetzner storage box is around $50 USD/mo.

      I have the storage box mounted as an encrypted volume using rclone.

        Got ya, thanks for the reply! Ive got 2x8tb for 16tb total and thats worked for me for years. The drives are getting old and I’ve been worried about the data. Checking out other drives but it would be nice to just… not deal with hardware. Is there any upload / download rates?

          It’s definitely cheaper by a lot in the long run just to host at home, and if I could get Gigabit symmetrical internet, I would do that. I really like being able to access my library from anywhere in the world, and I also share it with a handful of friends/family. I could ask them to contribute to the cost, but then I’d feel obligated to support!

          I’ve never hit any rate limits if there are any.
