Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Rsync + cron? If you just need to backup some files/directories.
Edit: ah, saw that you will read/write a lot. Do you really need to do that over the network? Why not upload a .tar, a snapshot or whatever of the changes?
If you could be a bit more specific then maybe we could give some better advice.
Use a seedbox if you're downloading stuff and dont have enough disk space.
The best example would be a running an email or chat server. The spool/media directories can go large pretty quick as users share pictures, gifs, ... So I would like to mount it from a remote location because the matrix server itself only has a 20G SSD for the whole OS. Rsync won't cut it there as I have a specific process writing to a location.
Ah, I see.
Perhaps sshfs could be an alternative. Not sure of the performance out of the box, but it is possible to tweak a bit.
