Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!
Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.
Edit2: I’m trying this but the command isn’t working despite zero exit status.
Storage isn’t one of the things the sell on their business page but yeah, maybe their team can rig up something for a fee. It’s worth a shot.
Some of these companies can be really good, others can be like “no”. InmotionHosting support were the primary reason I used them despite being slightly more expensive because their support would literally help with any issue even ones no other company would, and they would do stuff like give free storage for a problem like this. At one point I was using like 21TB of space on their service and really testing the limitations of “unlimited storage” they offered on their plan and they were totally cool with it even though I was clearly taking the piss a little. The only thing they held me to was that all things being stored on it had to be frontend accessible.
What does that mean, not encrypted at rest?
No like physically used as part of the website. Not just sitting on the server that the website was on without actually being in use on the website itself.
At the time what we were doing was archiving all pictures and video from a very very large and active discord. These were then searchable, you could see who posted what pictures and video, in what order historically, even sort by total number of reacts.
I don’t like the fact that discords buries all media for guilds and communities behind a god awful chat. So many screenshots and videos and all kinds of media are just buried in discord, extracting JUST the media and making it viewable and searchable by user etc preserves genuinely emotionally sentimental content. Things like that time a group of friends defeated their first dungeon together and stuff like that deserves to not get forgotten about never to be found ever again somewhere in the depths of a discord server.
Also I am a hoarder.
Idk if you pay for bandwidth or anything but if you do that might be cheaper than exchanging 1 TB of traffic or more over their network
Bandwidth in and out of my VPS is free. Object storage ingress and egress is what will cost me.
IDK I’m drunk right now but maybe they meant “rent a 2TB VM in the same datacenter for a few days”
Unfortunately the storage on their largest VM is only 320 GB.
