Hetzner finally offering S3 Object Storage

[sponch]

Hetzner has recently started a beta for S3 Objet Storage.
Looking forward to offloading Mastodon, Nextcloud and Peertube Storage.

@sponch Oh, cool! You think it's Minio behind the scenes, or their own thing?

Requested access

I just got access to the test already. I currently have it connected to Nextcloud as an external drive. So far it looks promising Very fast processing ie uploading large files from the server to disk storage and downloading.

@matix131997 cool! is there a tutorial how to connect Nextcloud with Hetzner object storage?

[matix131997]

In the application you need to run “External Storage support”. After launching in the settings you need to add. Then it will appear as a “folder”

[sponch]

ah I see what you mean with external storage - sorry my mistake - looking for a solution as primary storage. But thanks anyway for your reply

@sponch You can't use it as primary storage for the app, you need a mounted volume for that.

Not true. You can use Object storage as your primary storage. I was playing around with it a bit yesterday but I'm not sure how stable this implementation is. At least I couldn't get Hetzner S3 work properly.

@andreasdueren "for the app"

[matix131997]

@andreasdueren
Apparently, you can as primary storage, but the risks are high for Nextcloud applications in Cloudron, e.g.: resetting the file where the environment variable settings are located, or restoring the application, where there will be a conflict between the database and files located in external S3 storage.

@marcusquinn Sorry missed that part
