@humptydumpty Do you think something like this would automatically be faster than a LEB server with Minio installed?

Please let us know if anyone tries that out with the "S3 compatible" option under Backups

[humptydumpty]

@scooke No clue. My solution to have more space was to upgrade my VPS plan

@girish I intend to use it with Nextcloud to host my work files so I'll report back when I do that. Any idea if I can move Nextcloud off of my VPS storage and to use the object storage exclusively?

Edit: Sigh. US location to be added later. I'm on hold till then.

@girish Hello, I just test a Backup with the Contabo Object storage, and it seems working.

@loulou2852 thanks, we will add it as one of our backends.

I could be wrong, and I don't really know much about all this, but my limited understanding is that Nextcloud (plus collaborative editors like OnlyOffice or Collabora) and Object Storage are not really a good fit because I think Object Stores do not really like lots of small changes to files (e.g. like when a bunch of people are editing a doc together).
