Hetzner box and encrypted rclone remote

Help and Support
1

This might be a “bit” off-topic. I need to quickly move some data and hetzner storage box looks like a good candidate. Encryption will be used. Anyone has experience:

  1. How hetzner reacts on a new account (after passing verification) quickly filling up the box with encrypted data (if the latter part has any effect)?
  2. Which rclone remote type gives the highest transfer speeds but supports modtime and is supported by hetzner box?

Thank you

never an issue in 6+ years. i have several storgeboxes.
in one case, i run a cheap vm in the same datacenter as the storagebox.
on the vm, i run jellyin which mounts the rclone encrypted media files on the storagebox.
i connect to the vm/jellyfin over tailscale

i have another vm+storagebox as a veeam backup and replication repository.

if all you want is modtime, then webdav is fastest.
but if you also want file transfer verification using checksum, must use sftp with port = 23

tho storagebox offers smb/samba, that is not safe to use over open internet.
it offers modtimes and in some cases, file transfer verification using checksum
check out my howto guide How to access SMB/SAMBA with rclone

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Was there a particular reason you used VPN for jelly as I would assume you use HTTPS on it.

imo, not safe to have jellyfin server accesible over the public internet.
same applies to smb/samba.

Fair enough SSL is fine for encrypting traffic but the jelly / emby / plex authentication and general security implementation could be lacking.

Went with sftp and just limited checkers / transfers to 3 a bit aggressive as it allows 10 connections but I get good enough speeds. Thank you!
