    I payed about $350 for my 20TB drives, which at the rate offered here would pay of in less then 3 months. Add some overhead in for a NAS and some extra drives for a raid and it still easily pays of in half a year.

    Shitty deal.

    Is that your article ?

    I am in a bit of a funny position, I am volunteering in an underdeveloped country, and have my immich instance running at my in-laws. But I don’t have access to my NAS. Backblaze would be ideal!

    What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?

    I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?

      Yes :)

      In theory it should be as easy as copy and pasting, but I don’t know if that wouldn’t fail because of a timeout. Though, I have managed to wget a Google photos backup directly into JuiceFS and extract + process it there, just took like a day of time.

      Mounting your Immich dirs there is all it should take. I would be careful with database directories/sqlite, they seem to bug out when mounted in JuiceFS

      What do you do if your hardware is housed at home with crappy residential upload speeds?

      It’s a genuine question because I’ve settled for hosting on Storj, but because my friends and family can’t be bothered to connect via its client I’m running a WebDAV rclone proxy on a VPS over Tailscale. So not only am I paying for the storage itself, I’m also paying for transferring the data and on top of all that, it defeats the point of Storj being P2P from and end-user perspective.

      True, but S3 offers you extremely high availability and security for a quite fair price, and not everyone wants to immediately self host on their own hardware.
