What is the cost like of backing up people’s blobs? Records (text) should be cheap, but gifs and videos could perhaps become quite a bit of data. Cool service though! Might use it for my self-hosted PDS. I do have volume snapshots of my entire VM. But PDS specific backup might be nice.

All the storage is on @upcloud.com's manged object store coming out to be about $5 for 250gigs, so hoping it won't be too bad. Everything is also compressed before upload using zstd. Doesn't do a lot for blobs, but did a lot for the repo exports.

@storacha.network could be nice as another option to pick from here, if they wanna send you a PR for that.

Will that npm package you mention be enough to self-host these services for potential users?

They will be more so helpers to handle some of the more complex things during a migration. Like signing PLC operations, migrating the data, doing a restore. Things like that. All client side and building blocks to build a UI for that This compose file would be for self hosting the whole stack

Super cool! Now take a well-deserved break 😝 Also How different does the cow need to be to be ehm, yours? Cuz I can maybe do one but idk it’s such a good cow I doubt myself haha

I'm getting handle returned no did(?), and now failed to resolve handle after a few tries, when trying to use backup. My handle seems valid elsewhere and on the handle debug website.

That is a bit odd and I got the same thing. I’m on my phone atm so no debug tools, but you should be able to use your did in place of your handle and be good to go. which is did:plc:65djjyo6wsoxyautw5ohiojl
