Scaling Up: Migrating Our Mastodon Media Storage to DigitalOcean Spaces
Hello again!
It’s been a few months since launching our Mastodon instance, and I’m delighted with how well everything has been going. Our community has grown, and the interactions have been engaging and meaningful. I am thrilled to see such vibrant conversations and connections blossoming in our space.
However, with this growth came a pleasant challenge: our local storage quickly filled up with all the media files shared by our users. Photos, videos, and other media-rich posts were becoming increasingly difficult to manage with the limited local storage we initially set up.
