I am performing a migration that moves the images files from disk storage to object storage. During this migration the image back-end needs to be turned off, and so images will not be accessible.

It should still be possible to comment.

I am not sure how long this will take.

This is part of a few optimizations that I plan to do before I upgrade the instance to version 0.19.4.

    I thought that worse case scenario this would be an overnight transfer, but only 40 GB have been transferred so far.

    The server’s bandwidth use is well below the limit, so I think that the issue might be on the receiving end (Contabo’s S3-compatible object storage).

    I had to decrease the number of parallel connections because otherwise I would get too many errors and the transfer would stop, so it might not be the transfer speed of a single file, but rather the amount of time the server has to wait between initiating transfers. I am not sure, but at ~50GB per 12 hours this will end up taking almost 4 days… I will ask in the Matrix chat to see if this was also the experience of others who migrated.
