What is a *cheap* way to put an online service that requires a database that will be under ~10 GB for a number of years? If it's free, better.

Let me explain you the idea and the problem.

The Idea: Put a service for functions signatures using technologies online or a SQLite database file that can be easily downloaded somewhere for offline usage.

The Problem: Github doesn't allow files bigger than 100 MB. The initial signatures database I have is 1,2 GB, but it will grow a bit (I don't think it will be ever over 10 GB in years and years).

That explained, any recommendation about how to solve this problem with my resources?

@joxean BitTorrent also comes to mind!

@buherator The idea is to try to avoid causing costs to me or any other individuals. I have been thinking about putting it somewhere in diaphora.re or joxeankoret.com. I guess it should not be too expensive, right?

@joxean you say downloaded & offline usage, how about this storage service comp table?

@sharponlooker This can be an option, actually. Eskerrik asko!

@joxean I generally have a couple Gs free on my standard plans, so I'd count that as no cost. Hetzner has traffic limits, but that adds no additional cost until you try to serve many users (at which point torrents can help).

@joxean @sharponlooker I can't find my current storage providers in that table so I'll link them here:
https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/storage/
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/

The scaleway offer seems really good, but the egress fees might end up being a problem

@stevelord Is an option... that I would prefer to avoid. Still an option, though.

@stevelord Is one of the (easily scriptable) options that I'm thinking about, yep.

@r0ny_123 similar, yeah, but using Diaphora which has much better ways for matching.
