Comment to with local storage on, Storing to AWS and digitalocean S3 :)

  • Hello Cem, I am not sure if you are still active here but I found your solution to what we need to do. Do you have that How To you mention in the comment here? We would like to add remote storage as DigitalOcean.

    • Hi Brand,

      We are now using https://www.hetzner.com/ dedicated servers.

      At there they have storage boxes that we use for backups (cause they are designed only for backups.)

      And you can connect a 16 TB enterprise HDD to your server. This gave us big flexibility that we sought before.

      The UNA storage folder is simply linked to a folder in that harddisk. It is also possible to connect multiple HDDS or nve ssds to your dedicated server there. The price of the 16 TB HDD is 24 euro/month.

      They also have S3 option but we dont feel a need for it any more.

      If you could explain your setup I may have ideas.

      • Sure.. DigitalOcean offers Remote Storage in what they call Spaces. We are storing our UNA Messenger recordings there currently and working with UNA on a way to link back to the chat session. We want to use Spaces to store other UNA video uploads via their videos module. As the only UNA instructions to date speak of integration with AWS, I thought you had figured out a way to integrate non-AWS storage that links back to UNA.

        • I dont know the current situation of DO spaces for usage with UNA as AWS, at hat times (7 years ago) it was not possible and thats why we ended up with some other file systems like riofs s3fs etc. But as I remember later when I had the space and the web server on the same data center it worked normally.

          The only thing to be carefull was to backup and move all storage folder content to the new space.
