my #gotosocial install has a 13GB #SQLite database now. I don't mind but I annoyingly need to attach a bigger block device to my Droplet at #DigitalOcean. Time to migrate to a #RaspberryPi. Just need to order a M.2 or NVMe disk / HAT for it to use... although I do have an old Time Machine SSD that could work over USB-C? But... probably will draw too much power? 🤔
50GB attached storage in a Droplet is like $5/month 😤

@bryan I'm careful with RPIs since I've had multiple incidents where the SD card just died on me. Did you try to change the settings of media cache etc. to reduce the storage usage? I'm down to 435MB, but my GTS instance isn't my main Fedi account 🤔
@graves I’m running in DigitalOcean right now on the $6 1GB memory & 25GB storage. Media is going to Spaces (S3) and it’s in a steady state of about 220GB. The Spaces storage is pretty cheap.
If I switch to Raspberry Pi I’d use the NVMe HAT / Disk and I’d continue to use Spaces for media storage… that’s a built in CDN as well.
I’m not really convinced the #RaspberryPi will have enough power if I slap on a HAT and a 128GB NVMe disk. Hoping someone has one of these setups already. I’m looking at buying this:
