       Currently the media files for mountains.social are stored in an S3 bucket at Linode. There was some instability a while ago at their side, so started to look around for alternatives. Linode solved the instability issues, so I put a storage migration aside for the time being.The amount of storage however is ofcourse increasing (250 GB comes in sight). Linode charges a fixed fee until 250 GB and starts charging more after that. I'm not a fan of variable (read: unpredictable) bills, so I'm currently in the process of migration to Wasabi (fixed price for 1 TB storage).5.39 USD at Linode for 250 GB, 6.99 USD at Wasabi for  1 TB.The initial copy of the storage is running now. After the copy I will switch the storage in the Mastodon configuration and start migration the delta as well.There will be some short outages later today, not sure exactly when as this depends on the storage copy.Will update as I go along.#MountainsSocialMastoAdmin

       I perform the migration via flexify.io, which is really convenient. You get 20 USD start balance. The current migration is estimated at around 5.70 USD, so basically a free service which regards to this migration.

       Storage copy done, am activating the new storage location in the Mastodon configuration now. This will give some hickups. Stay tuned.

       And we're back. Let's see if we can upload media.

       OK, seems to work, thanks for the acknowledgment 🙌 Am now starting the delta copy (the media that got written to the old storage since the start of the initial copy job).Until that finishes some media might be missing for you. Please be patient in that case. Catching up.
