   Ways to make your #Mastodon instance future proof:

   + Make sure it's financed by a company/organisation/team with auto payments on solid bank account, do not depend on donations
   + Use cloud based and/or scalable storage, make sure it's big enough from the very start
   + Use sensible data retention and cleanup
   + Make sure your database has space to grow
   + Scale up resources when necessary
   + Make sure auto-backups and heartbeats are set up
   + Use scripts and automation
   + Have a plan for easy migrating in the future
   + Accept that all life and websites have a finite time in this universe #MementoMori

     @charliebrownau Well the point is that any kind of auto payment is good and any kind of unlimited and safe backup method is good.

     I don't know where I can get cheap unlimited space that is not a big tech cloud. Do you?

     @charliebrownau I know there are cheap storage boxes, I rent one from Hetzner, couple of bucks per 1TB.

     But there are no cheap UNLIMITED storage. Only Google has those.
