Please allow me to offer you a free rsync.net account, in perpetuity, for the backup portion of your requirements. We don’t do hosting of any kind so you’ll have to secure that elsewhere. Just email info@rsync.net to discuss.

Would it be against your ToS if the OP hosted a small $5 Hetzner server that mounted your FS with sshfs and hosted files with a simple proxy?

  Don't use hetzner for shit like this. They're EXTREMELY strict on abuse.

      I think this is the first time I've seen a Pleroma link "in the wild" without me searching for it. I am very happy it's catching on. Cheers!

    How is this abuse? You're paying hetzner for a VPS. If running a proxy server is an abuse of their TOS, then in my mind their service doesn't seem much more than a scam. I'm glad to know to avoid their service.

      If this is HK/CN related stuff, I'd anticipate Hetzner to be drowned in torrential rains of fake abuse emails.

    Anecdata: Hetzner does not care what files are on their servers as long as you don't also serve them publicly from their servers. So if they only use it as a network storage for another server, it should be fine.

  No. I will say that that sounds fragile and non performant but … at the same time, the whole point of our service is to be a “dumb” primitive - in the classic Unix sense. So, of course this is within our terms and we see plenty of folks doing things like this.

  Whoa that’s a cool trick! It’s important to note, however, that sshfs has been archived by its creator. What this entails with regard to the future of the project is uncertain though.

    I'm not sure what protocols rsync.net exposes, but it's probably supported by rclone if there are others than ssh.

I am looking to wean off Dropbox. Do you know if Syncthing in combination with rsync is a good combo?

  I forget - isn’t syncthing straight up SFTP ? Should work perfectly…
  - Belphemur 4y ago
    Usually every node that share a folder need to have syncthing installed. The only way to make it work with rsync.net would be to mount a sshfs on a machine running syncthing. Not sure if the performance will be good. Maybe with Rclone ?

I just want to say, mysterious ’rsync’ person, your evangelism of your company is top notch. From this and other comments you have made on this site, rsync.net is a service that I will sign up for without hesitation the instant I have offsite backup needs.

Had been a happy rsync customers with several companies, this makes me happy.

Hi! Is there a way to get a test account/download file to test bandwidth/latency? On top of this, are there plans for nodes closer to or preferably in Australia? By the way, your personal websites certificate has expired today :)
