Curious: for this type of infra, what do people use for file/object storage? Using something like AWS would negate all the savings with egress costs.


If you want hosted S3-compatible storage, you should be able to combine Backblaze B2, Wasabi, or Cloudflare R2 with any VPS provider from the bandwidth alliance:

That should alleviate egress costs. Bonus that storage is also way cheaper.


If your capacity needs aren't very high you can just store data on your web server in a directory

Pocketbase (also in a Dokku-powered container) on a Hetzner Cloud VPS with attached storage. Stupidly cheap, very reliable.


minIO can also be self hosted as an s3 alternative. Or host a database. Likely just depends on the type of storage you are looking for


Total Annual Price > $48,000 $20.00/TiB/month

That doesn't sound cheap...


I would guess GP was referring to self-hosting minio.


Good ol local disk
