How are you handling versioning and deleted files?
It seems like Restic would be a better option? It only backs up changed files and handles versioning, encryption, deduplication, and some fault recovery allready. You wouldn’t need all of the other layers like the export script and float.
Yes generally around 1TB on cheap plans. That’s a ton of data though for streaming media, if youre moving more than that getting a higher tier VPS would make sense.
It costs a little but a VPS running Pangolin and Crowdsec is a decent replacement for cloudflare for hiding your IP and having some extra protection.
Most VPS are on 1Gbps connections, but even if it only has 100Mbps that’s plenty.
It supports DDR4 if you buy a motherboard that supports DDR4 too.
I would probably go Intel with iGPU for the transcoding and acceleration for Immich. i3-14100 is fast and cheap.
Otherwise you definitely have far more CPU power than you’ll need for those apps so no worries there.
Have you checked while it’s running all the ML tasks on import? Mine uses a good chunk of RAM while that’s running.
Restic is a good backup tool with encryption. Cryptomator is awesome but it doesn’t do backups, just storage.
