**Is there someone who currently has a dedicated server via #Hetzner?

I have tried using volumes for the database but unfort the read/write speed was too low so Mastodon did not function right

Our current database size is almost 1TB

@stux Hi,

It might help you to look into moving towards object storage. Most blobs are saved in the postgres database, which is quite expensive and doesn't scale well.
With object storage you don't have this issue anymore. Here are some how to's. Good luck.

@stux Maybe someone from @hetzner is listening and able to help?

We got a little bit of an issue.. Currently the main server for mstdn.social has just under 48GB disk space left and we cannot upgrade any further since we're at the highest tier

So the only solution would be a dedicated server with a lot more space to grow, within exactly 14 days bills will arrive for all our current servers but I also gotta rent and setup a new server in the meanwhile

Besides that me and my gf are alsomoving soon maybe so i cannot spend all our money on server bills

Currently I am looking with Hetzner for a dedicated server that fits out infrastructure, if you have a better tip, please let me know! Time is getting limited

If you can, please think about helping us out this month, hopefully we can slash costs by a massive percentage and have room to gtow for the future ️

@stux I have a dedicated server („Serverbörse“) that has 64GB ECC RAM and two SSDs (each 1TB). I pay 40€/month. That is more than enough for my needs. The disks are direct attachment (nvme), so speed is not an issue

Okay so.. within the upcoming days I'm gonna rent and setup a dedicated server for mstdn.social

I will announce when exactly since there will be downtime, also I'll do this at night(for me) since that's often the most quiet moment on our instance

Still have nightmares from the last time I moved this server But at least I know what not to do!

@stux holy cow. I'm sending all my wishes of luck to you. My heart sank when importing the troet.cafe db and it failed...
