Question: how hard it is, to migrate a #Mastodon instnace from local storage to an S3 compatible storage? I'll soon have to migrate #Tutter to another machine and I'm thinking if it's a good idea to use S3 storage...

@blint I think there is a script in the mastodon helm chart that does this: https://github.com/mastodon/chart/blob/main/templates/job-assets-copy.yaml

If you don't run your stuff in Kubernetes, you should still be able to do the same, it just calls rclone with a bunch of parameters and environment variables.
