Cloudron Forum

I had tried that before posting, but it failed. Turns out Vultr wants you to boot from a recovery disk to resize.

Much faster (and no downtime) to just create new block storage and copy data over.

Scaleway, IBM and any other provider that has added Object storage. So the better approach is to look for object storage providers and see if they have VPS offerings too.

What do you actually want to do?

Thanks for asking! For Cloudron backups, that is no problem. What I want is storage for app data, for example, the images in a gallery application, or the videos in a video application. From what I understand, these have to go to a block/object storage with the same VPS, as Girish explained here:
https://forum.cloudron.io/post/71151

Basically, if I understand correctly, with Cloudron, your VPS provider has to also offer block/object storage too, if you want to backup your application data on a different server. For example, Hetzner storage boxes would only be useful for app data storage if you are running your Cloudron on Hetner, too.

Dont use Wasabi

Use Idrive

I try the commands to create a volume,

what commands? where?

Thank you @jdaviescoates , you magic man! Thank you too, @nebulon for finding the time to look at my post.

As usual, Cloudron already had all the information I needed there.

My difficulty came from reading the output of the blkid command:

You are returned a UUID result along with a PARTUUID result, and I copy/pasted the wrong one.

@nebulon That's awesome! Thanks so much! It's gonna make running the server a lot more affordable :D.
