That would give you 300TB of RAIDZ3 storage plus 96 cores and 768GB of RAM. Over a five year period, that works out to $416/month amortized capex plus $400/month opex, or $816/month.

So the way that this works out from a practical point of view is that you can pick up a full rack at Hurricane Electric, with power and a gigabit ethernet, for $400/month, and then load three of $2500 ESXi servers in there ($7500 capex) plus three FreeNAS hosts based on some cheap Dell R510's and 14TB HDD's ($16000 capex) plus random other parts for a total capex of maybe $25K. I've fought a few 'why not do everything on cloud' battles over the years, and the trick is, while cloud is suuuuuper-awesome at being able to spin up a workload and do some work and then vanish back into the ether, with a 'modest' cost, it is really horrible at maintaining baseline workloads and storage and stuff like that, because the cloud costs seem to work out to like 5x-20x other reasonable solutions such as running it on-prem or in a colocation facility. We both have unlimited Internet access plan.Ĭloud was originally a term that meant a multi tenant computing environment hosted on someone else's data center assets, but dilution of the term and frustration with idiots has led to other uses. Also, both of our networks are segregated and servers are running in an isolated segment that users can not reach. Both my father and I are running pfSense firewalls (a VM for me, an SG-1100 for him) and have IPSec configured between the two. I updated the local DNS name to point to its new address in my father's network and voilà : the sync process sent the few missed snapshots and keeps it up-to-date every 15 minutes now. I then unplugged it and took it down to my father's place where I plugged it back. For its first sync, I had it at my place. For other stuff like the recording from ZoneMinder, I put that in another dataset (LocalStore) that is not replicated. The space for it is reserved on each of the 3 servers, so I am sure that if it fits in Atlas, it will get replicated to the 2 others. It is in that one that I put everything I want replicated to the 2 other servers. I created a primary dataset that I called HAStore. Thanks to that, the container is not even aware that data are not local.

The Docker host mounts the NFS share and Docker re-maps it inside the container. It offers all the services a public cloud typically offer : file sharing, photo upload, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, Office suite, mail. I run it from a Docker host in my ESXi server. What are all of you guys using for cloud storage? Do you have any recommendations for something that is secure (very important for me), and somewhat cost effective? I don't need (hopefully) to access the data, only adding to it, until that fateful day that I may one day need to restore everything, if that matters.

I have looked through some of the other options like idrive, dropbox, etc. I don't want to use Amazon or Google because I don't trust them (well, I don't trust anyone with my data, but I really don't want them having it). To store the ~2TB of data I have now with B2, it would be around $130 a year or so, which isn't that bad, but I'd always be feeling like I'd need to watch my uploads so I didn't really get out of control on the cost. I like BB, and have had a positive experience with them for a few years now, but I don't know about the idea of 'pay to play' the way B2 is structured. I have to switch to B2 in order to do that.

Currently, I've been using Backblaze personal backup, which is great, but now that I am moving my data from my workstation to a couple of NASs as I change my storage strategy and upgrade the homelab, I can't use the Backblaze personal backup option anymore (they don't backup from a NAS). I have TrueNAS on-site backing up to my synology NAS on-site. The purpose of the cloud storage for me is the '1' in the '3-2-1' strategy. I've been reading a lot about different cloud storage services.
