Want to scale Appwrite with DigitalOceans Droplet.

Hi! I have a really important question to ask.

When using a DigitalOcean Droplet for hosting Appwrite, if I add additional storage volume to the Droplet and attach it, will it automatically expand the database storage capacity, or do I need to perform additional configurations such as mounting the volume?

Specifically, how should I manage the integration of additional storage with the database within the Appwrite setup?

Additionally, I'm curious about how Appwrite manages these internal configurations when self-hosted on services like DigitalOcean, especially in terms of performance and storage, and how these considerations are affected when vertically scaling the Droplet.

It will not scale automatically. You will need to attach the volume and move the DB to the volume and configure it in order to use it.

For the file storage, you can use digitalocean spaces, move all the data to the spaces and set the env variables that appwrite has to use that storage provider.
