Ongoing Project - Division Share Drive

Objective: Create a 100GB - 250GB share drive for video and other content to be shared between 2nd Armored members.

The Contabo VPS we are using allows us 500GB of NVMe storage. We currently utilize just under 50GB of that space with SAPPER, four HLL RCON instances, one Squad server, and everything else we have on it. This project seeks to better utilize this extra storage by allocating a block of storage for the Division Communications department to use to share uploaded member videos to create content.

The first and obvious step will be to create this share drive. Potentially three different share drives with three different access levels.

  • Access Level 1: General Use - 25GB to be used by anyone for shorter videos (community clips, cheating evidence, etc)
  • Access Level 2: 2nd-AD Membership - 100GB for 2nd Armored members to share videos for YouTube video compilations
  • Access Level 3: 2nd-AD Officers - 25GB to be used for collaboration on projects (training guides, how-to videos, etc)

Once the drives are in place, we will attempt to link access to these drives into the SAPPER framework for ease of use. Responsibility for managing the storage space for each share drive will be handled by the Division Director of Communications, who will ensure that video content is pruned from the drive after it has been used to ensure adequate free disk space in the share drive for future uploads.

Update 1 - Nerve has experience with setting up VPS share drives and will be looking into getting a system up and running for us over the next few days.
