We were able to finally move our entire TROM.tf to a new server. Some 2-3TB of data.
Old server: i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz, 8 cores, 32GB RAM, 2 x 1.8TB SSD. 46 Euros a month.
New one, same CPU but 1 x 1TB SSD + 2 x4TB HDD. 54 Euros a month.
We are using the HDDs as one, around 7.5TB of storage in total, for storing the data for Peertube and Nextcloud. This allows us to expand the storage for these ones 2-3 times more than on the previous server. Retrieving data from HDDs in this case is totally fine and we see no slow down of these services.
Thanks to that we enabled one more resolution, 480p, for our Peertube instance. 3 in total now. Will only be available for the newly uploaded videos.
We also have a new IP so emails can reach Gmail from our server, finally...but we have disabled "import with URL" for our Peertube to protect this IP from getting banned.
Overall it was a very difficult process to move to the new server and our TROM Git still cannot be restored....we need to fix

We were able to move to a new server thanks to the donations we got recently. Thank you!
We are paying some 8 Euros more a month now for the new one, but it is worth it.
Anyway, enjoy trom.tf and stay tuned because we will offer more storage space for our Nextcloud soon! :) For anyone who wants ;)
