When uploading files does the file get stored on the droplet or it stores on digital ocean storage? Same question for the database does everything get stored on the droplets ssd or you have to create outside db for it

TL;DR
Developers discussing self-hosting Appwrite on Digital Ocean. Is it possible to migrate projects between cloud platforms? It's not necessarily good or bad practice; it depends on your needs. To avoid storing everything on the droplet, set up an external mariadb database and use services like S3, Backblaze, or DigitalOcean Spaces for files. By default, files and databases are stored on the droplet.

You can setup an external mariadb database and connect it to your appwrite instance inside the droplet and for files you can setup S3, backblaze or digitalocean spaces
