I put my first Nextcloud instance into full production last week.
Hosted in the cloud, eg w. Vultr or self hosted colo or on-prem?
We are on Vultr for the client that I have it in production for.

@scottalanmiller I was thinking about how you would handle the block storage on vultr. Would you have to thin provision the file storage or would it be easy to expand block storage size without by resizing the partition as needed?
And then how do you backup? Was planning on loading this up today.

Vultr offers three storage options or categories to consider here, depending on your need.
- Vultr Standard SSD - high IOPS, low capacity storage with backups included at 20% additional cost. This is not normally what you want for this kind of workload, but if you want performance and super simple backups, this is your answer. I've never done this.
- Vultr Storage SATA - low IOPS with 125GB - 1TB capacity options. Extremely low cost and super effective. This is the Vultr sweet spot. Perfect for a NextCloud deployment. Backups are not available from Vultr.
- Vultr Block Storage - Add this on to any Vultr VM. Pay by the GB, I think. Expandable and flexible.

There was a time when we needed to access 5TB of live data from 4 different offices. Because of the windows storage API you cant use dropbox to sync between servers where the files our being editing over the network.
I hadn't seen the SATA storage option but I've only Vultr to deploy freeswitch, freepbx and kamalio.
I was thinking with block storage you would either have to buy more storage than you need or thin provision it. I would hate to have to resize the partition constantly whenever I needed to expand block storage.

Only visible to existing customers, so if you aren't signed in when you look, it is not visible to you.

I found it, hadnt clicked on the tabs while create a server yet. Thanks for the heads up on this!

Huh, it was on the pricing page like a month ago or so (or my memory is bad and it was longer ago than that).

How do you bill the client for this?
How do you adjust billing as the storage consumed goes up?

Same as any other VM. Vultr is very simple for this if you are just using normal VMs and not elastic block storage.
-
I don't have it running yet but hope to have it running on an rPi and will setup for my dad to provide a simple place to start things, and maybe do some back up ' USB drive' rotations.

Is there a good reason why I would not run this via VPS hosting? eg, A2 Hosting offers this via softaculous installs

Vultr is the VPS that we use. I think that it is great there.
-
Mine is currently home-use only with ~4 users on it. But It is on my hosted server, off-site.

Speed is a GREAT reason...
I uploaded 2 mp4 files ( 74 & 196 MB)
Vultr upload took 10 secs.
A2 upload took over 7 mins -
Downloading the 196MB file:
Vultr: 1 sec
A2: 1 min.reference: My FIOS connection is 150/150

-
I will try it again just in case A2 was having a bad moment..
I did not expect to see that much of a difference -

-
Trying the A2 upload again......not looking very fast
I'm timing w stopwatch.

Still waiting...
That upload took 9:29
