I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I’m looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I’m planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it’s 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

    Hetzner has their storage boxes which are very cheap, might be an option.

    Alternatively use an external S3 provider like Wasabi or Backblaze.

      I ise backblaze for backups already. But is an S3 backend any good for mounting locally and doing many read/write ? What are my options to mount it besides rclone ?

      I didn’t know about their storage box. That’s interesting, thanks !
