Comment on Trouble uploading images
Sal@mander.xyz 2 weeks agoOnly that I am frustrated at the object storage provider (Contabo), and now I see why their reputation is not great. Their reply was that they sent a warning about the “12 hour downtime during March 10th”… but obviously these effects have extended both to before and after this “12 hour downtime”. At least I got confirmation that this problem is due to their migration.

Hope they are at least cheap.

They are cheap. But I think that at the current total cost I would be able to improve performance while keeping cost about the same by migrating the instance to a dedicated server instead of a VPS + object storage.

I would be willing to toss a couple of loonies a month at it if it helps with the instance.

Thanks! <3 Cost is not the issue. The reason why I selected this option was because it seemed a good choice at the time. Moving the image database around is a bit of a hassle so I chose to just keep it as it was even after learning of other options. Last time it took several days of downtime to move the images over because the transfer speed into/out of the object storage is very low.
If I would have known that this would happen now, I might have taken this opportunity to move all the images over. But I was not expecting this amount of downtime. Now I worry that trying to move images from one place to another when the object storage is acting up is risky, and also I am busy.
I sent another message to support this morning and received:
Sorry 😓
