My hobby includes a lot of large docker images, self-hosting a somewhat popular website, and attempting to get my file server serving as quickly as possible to the other places in my house.
I use a reasonable amount of bandwidth in my WFH job (and my partner does as well), but we're just barely topping out a 300Mbit connection right now. I think we could make use of gigabit during the burstiest periods, however.
- dylan604 2y agoAn internal file server used on your local net has nothing to do with WAN speeds though. If you have a residential account, most of those actually exclude running a server with external public access on those accounts, but many people are not aware of that specific fine print.
- mmastrac 2y agoWell yeah, obviously LAN and WAN are different. But they're all running over that same LAN fabric to get to the WAN. Having high-speed streaming access to files on the server is somewhat important as well (mostly while travelling). With Cloudflare access my file server and website are available without being detectable to the ISP, though I actually do have a static IP + hosting plan through an interesting ISP called Skyway West in Canada.
