How to use Hetzner StorageBox as library?
Hi, I'm thinking about using my StorageBox as an immich library. Is that a bad idea?
There are several methods how I could mount it. I thought about using sshfs, rclone or Samba. Which one is probably better suited?

If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.Use RSync to mount hetzner box directory?
Did you mean rclone?
And then use
sftp as remote type?CIFS (or samba) would probably be the best
Yes rcolen
I think if your server is located in different region speed will be slow
my server is in frankfurt and I think the storagebox too
Okay thanks I'll try that
Hetzner afaik is only in Falkenstein and Nürnberg
(in Germany)
oh ok but at least they're both in germany
If they are in same datacenter, connection might be faster
Im not sure
Im planning run same setup like yours.
Actual photos in hetzner box and preview images and database is local
I think for only the external library that should be fine either way. I would highly advice against storing your database on there though
yeah I didn't plan to put the DB on there only mount the library folder
Hi did it work for you?
