We got a little bit of an issue.. Currently the main server for mstdn.social has just under 48GB disk space left and we cannot upgrade any further since we're at the highest tier

So the only solution would be a dedicated server with a lot more space to grow, within exactly 14 days bills will arrive for all our current servers but I also gotta rent and setup a new server in the meanwhile

Besides that me and my gf are alsomoving soon maybe so i cannot spend all our money on server bills

Currently I am looking with Hetzner for a dedicated server that fits out infrastructure, if you have a better tip, please let me know! Time is getting limited

If you can, please think about helping us out this month, hopefully we can slash costs by a massive percentage and have room to gtow for the future

I'm doing the best I can

Is there someone who currently has a dedicated server via

I have tried using volumes for the database but unfort the read/write speed was too low so Mastodon did not function right

Our current database size is almost 1TB

I have a Hetnzer auction server, but compared to your usage, it's just a baby server

I am bit worried about that disks to get, don't wanna have the same issue again

My research never went that deep, I was just happy to get most stuff up and running.

What are the pros and cons of the disks you are looking at?

And how long do you expect them to last?
