I need to pay $10,000 for any amount of extra storage?!
I was told I could request storage using a pro account but not this amount of money for such a small amount of storage. Is there anything I can do?

how much storage did you need, and who told you that?
The [email protected] email and I only needed 100gb of extra storage
who specifically did you talk to?
Jake
jake cooper?
No idea
That just seems extremely outrageous as I’m not some enterprise company needing terabytes and stuff but alright.
https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/developer-platform/r2/ is an option?
but may i ask what you would like 100gb for?
Extra file storage for my signing api
Hmm I see I’ll definitely check that out
Oh I must have entirely misread you
I read something about shared storage and hit a macro in the email response.
Do you just need your database bumped up storage wise?
Yup just by 100gb to store my api files if that’s possible please
Oh. EasyPeasy sorry about that
😵💫
Which service?
lol no worries is it possible I can get it for the whole team for other projects? If not I’ll do my SamSign Main service
api.samhubsign.xyz?
Yup
You don't seem to have a volume attached to it. You'll have to create one for me to bump it
How would I do that might I ask?
CMD + K -> Volume
what storage have you been using up until now?
^^
Not much yet but my team has files that won’t expire and the api will be public to a few thousand people
Which signing apps of around 3gb each
think you misinterpreted my question, if you dont already have a volume, where have you been storing your files
Just in the same directory area where my project files get copied to
Which is the /app folder I think
thats ephemeral storage, please create a volume on your service
Oh ok I will
What should be the mount path of my volume?
Just / ?
Wherever you're writing your stuff
what folder do you save the certs to?
I’ll just do it in the /app folder which all my project files are stored
Alright the volume is setup
you can't mount a volume there, so for now, mount the volume to /app/data just so cooper has a volume to grow, we can change the mount point later without effecting the size
Oh ok
Done
Resized ✅
Sorry for the heart attack
No worries I got scarred for a second lol but thank you so much. And this would just be the same process for any other projects/services I would have?
Later on
Yup just flag us
Amazing thanks
Also how can I store my whole projects files in that volume instead of the /app folder now?
alright I'm tagging out cooper
you wouldn't want store store the entire project in the volume, only the files that need to persist
I see but when storing what should I be doing?
so let's work on that, please show me some code thats responsible for saving the files to disk
Sure one second
im basically just using dirname right now for the starting point of where my script is stored
yeah that's fine
are you using nixpacks?
currently dockerfile
but im free to switch over if needed
no need just gathering information to give you the best answer, what does the last workdir read?
alright, what's the current mount point
no idea i would have never changed it
though heres my whole file if needed:
no idea? you just set the volumes mount point 5 minutes ago
oh woops
/app/data
change to
/app/storage/certs
done
okay you should be good to go, but to check, upload something that would end up in
storage/certs
and then redeploy, once that's done, check if the file is still therealrighty ill have to check tomorrow but thank you for everything
no problem
@loyah just wanna check back in, has that mount path worked for you?
yup its worked great and the storage is working correctly
thank you for the concern
you have confirmed this by uploading something, redeploying, then checking if the file is still there?
Yup I have it works
great!
