I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/… for my media needs on my vps.

Problem is that I don’t have huge amount of storages and I would like to expand the storage until I’m able to make a personal server ( I don’t have space where I live for even a mini pc rn ).

From the options that I have been considering the contabo ( my vps provider ) storage expansion are quite costly so I have been thinking about hetzner storage boxes or a backblaze b2 bucket mounted with rclone/s3fs.

The problem with backblaze is that I use hardlinks with my *arr suite so to save up on space so I’m not sure if I can mount them preserving the hard links.

What would be your thought or reccomendation? Should I get a hetzner storage box and just mount it or is there anything else I could do until I manage to make my own personal server?

    Do you have a NAS at home with enough storage? You could use wireguard to setup a vpn tunnel, then mount your NAS’s storage on your vps via nfs and using cachefilesd. If your upload speed is sufficient, this can work pretty well without too much waiting for a stream to start.
