Thibault Martin: Why is my Raspberry Pi 4 too slow as a server?
I self-host services on a beefy server in a datacenter. Every night, Kopia performs a backup of my volumes and sends the result to a s3 bucket in Scaleway's Parisian datacenter.
The VPS is expensive, and I want to move my services to a Raspberry Pi at home. Before actually moving the services I wanted to see how the Raspberry Pi would handle them with real life data. To do so, I downloaded kopia on the Raspberry Pi, connected it to the my s3 bucket in Scaleway's datacenter, and attempted to restore the data from a snapshot of a 2.8GB volume.
