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 ?

    My main issue with NFS is that it’s been unreliable in my case (multiple servers connected over wireguard, over internet). Which cause locks and latency for the applications that read/write to it (Matrix server, distributed repository, …).

    Of course if you can afford connecting the NFS server directly to the servers, that’s perfect but I’m more on the worst case scenario ^^
