Your answer could potentially help me un-fuck my website!

Details here.

Edit: The total capacity is currently 160 GB, so no amount of pruning will free up 1 TB. I need to mount an external share or something.

Edit2: I’m trying this but the command isn’t working despite zero exit status.

    I have been in similar situations before and there is no easy answer agony-wholesome

    I have no idea how Peertube works but if you’re on Linux you might be able to turn on filesystem compression… but if the data you’re storing is already compressed (like video) that probably won’t help very much

    You could try sshfs like you mentioned in your post but it might be unreliable :( , maybe you could try NFS or even mount remote storage over Plan 9 protocol

        Unlimited destruction upon NAT qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

        Do both hosts have internet connection via IPv6? You could try this over IPv6, usually no NAT, but your ISP might do some kind of firewalling

        You could also probably put up a Wireguard (VPN) connection between them since the webserver is not behind NAT

        Or also “forward a port” if you have access to the NATing router between your PC and webserver
