@stefano @linus unfortunately even with latest build i still have slowdown with cpu-spiking at higher levels of storage. seaweedfs is also what i'm using i think i mentioned. works great especially given media endpoint. btw wonderful tutorial, wish i had it a few months ago lol

@stefano
For what scale do you think it is reasonable to break out media to its own service? I only have experience of up to a couple of hundred users with plain filesystem storage.

@stefano Ah, I am not fond of running a lot of different services if I can get away without, from a maintenance burden point of view.

@stefano I'm trying SeaweedFS as a S3 storage (and FUSE mounts, too) on my daily job and looks wonderful so far. Such much easier than Ceph to set up.

I'm also pushing a bit to have more metrics. 🤣

@lapo this is great!
