nope

Alright thank you, so it just scales with usage then when you go above?

As the docs says

its a soft limit yes, meaning you going above the shared disk limit means the sales guy will likely be in your inbox, but are you sure you arent interested in volumes?

Oh perfect!

Was just doing some research as I'm considering moving some infrastructure I have on a VPS over

as I want to possibly deploy it in a different region than its current location

sounds good, if what you are storing is temporary in nature, then the shared disk is what you would use, if what you are storing requires persistence, you would need to use a volume (50gb per service for pro)

Alright sounds good

Well it will be a storage bucket for images that varies in sizes and a database on the side also

but the database is not a must to be in the same region anyways

since its mostly for storing reference things

i would use cloudflare r2 for this, removes the pricing of bandwidth in Railway

i could be wrong, but isnt there a balance depending on how much you store, egress vs. volume costs

the images has a variance in size(mb) and its not a lot we are talking about

but yes the egress pricing could be a problem long term, though there is a redis cache that sits in between

wait, for the database or the images?

database can sit externally outside of Railway

the images are gonna be sitting in a storage bucket of sorts that Directus uses internally

ah ok didn't read that

if you run you database outside of railway then you would be subjecting yourself to extra egress fees

though I can configure a S3, R2 or something of the like to be used

ah yeah true

as i suggested, can't you just use cloudflare r2? configuration is really simple
https://www.restack.io/docs/directus-knowledge-directus-aws-s3-integration

and cloudflare doesn't charge egrees fees so it would be fine

yes that might be the plan

https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/config-options.html#file-storage

This is their actual docs for it

But yeah its pretty simple

yeah ive set directus up with cloudflare r2, very easy

do you find it better than storaging locally?

since this is only for file uploads and nothing else aka images only

cloudflare's CDN is extremely useful

and i would use it just by the pricing + you wouldn't worry about reaching Railway's volume limit

and pricing is way cheaper

well you can't easily backup the railway volumes, and thats why i went with r2

ah alright then I might as well choose that

I did also look at GCP, but they are somewhat pricey

and I don't want to go AWS

so I'll probably just do R2

nah, get away from GCP

R2 is the easiest and cheaper, it just works

yeah and I get the benefit of Cloudflares CDN

Alright perfect!

Thank you!

Still can't close this myself for some odd reason, so someone please do it 😂

we dont close threads 🙂

i don't even know if it's possible anymore

that discord bot disappeared

or sorry

no it didnt

mark as solved

weird, maybe i don't have permission for it?

before it appeared in the apps section

correct

I don't either

only mods / admins can mark as solved

ah okay!

well there it is, just give me admin, problem solved
