It goes without saying that self hosting uses a lot of bandwidth. But I’m curious… how much do y’all use? Post your stats!
My main server has 28 tb up and 8tb down checked via my router.
Post your bandwidth usage

What are people using to monitor this?

I use the reporting tools on my opnsense box.

Almost 3TB this month.
Most of that was from downloading Stalker 2 and the updates for it, though. Game was fucking huge and a couple of the updates were as big as the whole ass game.

Enough for xfinity to charge their bullshit fee for going over 1.2TB in December. Not enough to justify paying for unlimited data every month.

I switched partly because of this. Now I pay less and have symmetrical speeds!

That looks like me, back when i still had space on my server :(
Anyone wants to donate a couple of 8+ tb drives?
viking@infosec.pub 1 year ago
I’m consistently below 30 GB, unless you include local traffic from my fileserver to endpoints (98% movies that I stream locally via. VLC over smb). And even then I usually don’t exceed 1 TB.

I’ve got about 25tb of Anna’s seeded, plus ArchiveTeam warrior running. I don’t look at my usage lol

What exactly are you self-hosting that’s gobbling up that much data? I’ve been self-hosting my website for decades and haven’t used that much over all that time let alone in one month.
Most of my bandwidth consumption is from torrents and downloading Steam games.
CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Video is what gobbles up that much data. They likely have friends and family streaming from their media server.
Eheran@lemmy.world 1 year ago
40 TiB per month are 1.3 TiB daily. Even at 10 GiB per movie that’s 100 movies every single day. I doubt that is the reason.
tostiman@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Seed more ;)

I seed what you did there.

That’s not “self hosting” related tho lol
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 year ago
no details at the moment, but I upload nearly 1Tb / day of media seeds. so 25TB per month UPLOAD, you can imagine my downloads.
hendrik@palaver.p3x.de 1 year ago
About half a terabyte per month. My router doesn't write the logs to disk so I don't have any detailed statistics.
