I have a jellyfin instance running with radarr/sonarr/… for my media needs on my vps.

Problem is that I don’t have huge amount of storages and I would like to expand the storage until I’m able to make a personal server ( I don’t have space where I live for even a mini pc rn ).

From the options that I have been considering the contabo ( my vps provider ) storage expansion are quite costly so I have been thinking about hetzner storage boxes or a backblaze b2 bucket mounted with rclone/s3fs.

The problem with backblaze is that I use hardlinks with my *arr suite so to save up on space so I’m not sure if I can mount them preserving the hard links.

What would be your thought or reccomendation? Should I get a hetzner storage box and just mount it or is there anything else I could do until I manage to make my own personal server?

    Running Jellyfin off of a VPS provider seems needlessly expensive. I guess server hardware has an upfront cost, but having real hardware to host it on at home will be far more cost effective long term, especially for storage.
