       It took a long time, but I finally am making my second attempt at running my #Mastodon instance against self-hosted #S3 storage, with Nginx Caching.So far, it seems to be working. *fingers crossed*

       @jonatan Out of curiosity, why do people self-host S3 storage?If you can handle the storage and traffic, why add the extra S3 step? :nkoThink:​

       @stanford My problem was that my Hetzner Server doesn't have a lot of storage, thus I wanted to move the Media to my Homelab, where I have sufficient space.Why I specifically used S3 is just because I like the idea of it and took this as an opportunity to actually get to use it and learn some of the ins and outs (The reason for why I do most weird things).Could I just have mounted storage via NFS or SMB or moved Mastodon to my Homelab? Sure, but that would have been way too boring :D
