Just avoid the cloud. You get a Ceph storage with the performance of Amazon S3 at the price point of Amazon S3 Glacier in any Datacenter worldwide deployed if you want. There are companies that help you doing this.

Feel free to ask if you need help.

You have to properly administrate those servers else you'll lose all your files and everything will be inaccessible.

Administrating CEPH is unfortunately hard.

I want to know what the absolute cheapest way of doing this is, without having a lot of CapEx. I thought of renting dedicated storage servers (e.g. Hetzner) and slapping Ceph on them.

Do you have another, better, idea?
