A year ago I migrated from Backblaze B2 to Hetzner Storageboxes. That worked fine, but passing over the 5TB border made my offsite storage rather expensive (again). So another round of investigations was called upon.

I came across Mega’s Pro tier, which offered some cheaper options, and Jottacloud’s “Unlimited storage” package. The latter being between quotes, because nothing really is unlimited.

After doing some tests - transfer speeds both up and down, verification, reliability, … I ended up going with Jottacloud for my future needs. Jotta was (using 6TB of data) the fastest both in upload and download and reliability. Mega was worst in speed and reliability. The data ended up fine on all targets.

Jottacloud clearly documents the reduced upload speeds, which for my usecase is perfectly acceptable.

Using IPv6 outside of Docker with Docker

1 minute read

I recently activated IPv6 on my Netcup VPS, and in the process of setting it up on all my LXCs I noticed that for “reasons” the IPv6 default route would vanish after starting Docker (switching it all over to Podman is on my TODO list), effectively breaking the IPv6 connectivity on this LXC.

Enabling native IPv6 on Proxmox and LXC using SDN

In my original deployment of Proxmox on my VPS I only enabled IPv4, and I was using socat to forward traffic from the IPv6 address of the host to the internal IPv4 addresses of the containers. Not ideal, since this masks the external IP addresses, and also creates some latency and additional CPU load when processing IPv6.

I run Proxmox Virtual Environment as my virtualisation platform. On top of this I use virtual machines using KVM and Linux Containers using LXC - both of which are natively supported on ProxmoxVE.
