Remote Storage

I am in the process of changing all references from s3.amazonaws.com to wasabi counterpart urls on s3.php on test site. Will post results and make edited php available if successful.

have you been successful with this? I'm also looking for the same solution.

İ recommend objectivefs , with it you may mount almost any S3 system as a local drive and it works very fast. İt's a paid service but allows you to use it on 3 servers 

Don't use riofs or similar they have dangerous bugs.

you can replace all the call from amazon to wasabi and still only have the data written to the bucket but not read. There  are other calls in the php script to amazon cloudfront I am not sure how to handle. Wasabi sees this issue strictly as the app developers responsibility.  Looking at their exponential growth I do not for-see any reason for them in the near future take on any developers responsibility. I requested information on the ease and procedures for transferring data from amazon to wasahi buckets incase una decides to have a scrlipt written for wasabi storage option.

As for amazon cloud storage I am using a US data center already. In the case of Wasabi I have changed all the bucket calls and able to write to the bucket but not read. There are other references to cloudfront in the script I am not sure how to handle. Maybe creating a community fund to have a script written for Wasabi might be a solution if enough interest is shown.
To have successful social media site, without filling it up with 3rd party advertising, is by memberships or a wealth philanthropist. Two major pillars a platform must have to accomplish this are; reliable up-to-date and affordable payment processors and offsite cloud storage options to sustain growth.

what is the timeframe and with whom?

Still try to understand exactly what files are included in storage? I surmise it is videos, photos, and files that can be downloaded such as pdf text etc.. Any thing else?  Does all the folders and  files in the storage directory get put in s3 bucket? All i have looks like files created from cloudfront and no directories (there gone).

Wasabi support informed me that there are 3rd party services that can transfer s3.bucket data from amazon to wasabi but it looks like you still have to use a service like cloudfront to deliver the file as a url from the bucket. From what I can understand they are primarly a cloud storage service (s3.bucket)

This is the problem that I was facing. "you can replace all the call from amazon to wasabi and still only have the data written to the bucket but not read." Everything stores in Wasabi, but it shows a broken link in UNA. Also, for this, the github issue is still set to "future".

 Alex T⚜️ I feel that we should solve the storage and bigint issues before we create enhancements and new features, because affordability and accessibility are the core of a successful social network. Without affordable storage along with, in this case, >2gb upload/encoding sizes, we can't unleash the full potential of the UNA software. Members of a social network are only willing to pay so much. Keeping the costs down for this site owner should be the number one priority.
