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?

      Still ocupies the same amount of space, a hardlink just makes it so that if you remove the origin file the link is removed at the same time, bht you can emove it in jellyfin but it will take the same amoun of space.

      Edit: either way can’t have jellyfin delete media because I don’t want it to accidentlally remove stuff from ptt’s

        You asked for a solution for removing unneeded media files while keeping the linked torrents. I gave you one.
