I could do it without problems, the only problem would be that I need access to the current hosting to be able to migrate all the data present.

I am currently a computer engineering student and therefore I should have enough free time to be able to manage the project without too many problems

This is true, but I assume also that the timing and procedures depend mainly on where the server is hosted. So it is very important to choose a place where the legislation allows some freedom. For example, I am in Italy and, if it is hosted it directly here, the law is not very restrictive regarding what pornographic material can be possessed, obviously although one does not knowingly possess child pornography, which therefore should obviously be eliminated as soon as possible. The gore, on the other hand, cannot be held and it would therefore be necessary to use a host in another country.

If u are looking for someone I want to apply. And also thanks for what have u done, GL

And what hosting were you thinking about to keep everything up?

On hetzer I have some doubts I was throwing an eye at https://www.hetzner.com/legal/terms-and-conditions and it seems that they do not allow the possession of pornographic material, although it seems that now yay do it without problems I wanted to avoid the risk and I advise you to do the same

This is true, but honestly, I'm not familiar with the policies of various hosting sites regarding the provision of backups or fallback servers in different infrastructures, perhaps in a different location.

Self-hosting, in my opinion, could provide greater privacy and security to users rather than using external servers. However, it would also depend on the policies of the administrator and how website logs and data are stored.

I can mod teens if needed

I personally have experience mostly with selfhosting and AWS which is what I would probably use. From what yay currently said the server is now hosted thanks to Hetzner.

I'd never looked at it, but glancing at it, however, it seems that having a reasonable amount of storage (considering the material we would be dealing with, I assume we need a lot ) the cost goes up. At this point perhaps it is better to self-host everything, the only problem would be to be able to have enough bandwidth

Yes, actually 2.5 is not much and even if it would be sufficient for the moment, perhaps not anymore in the future. If we go this route there would also be a fairly significant hardware investment to be made.

That can be a good idea

If u need it I have a HomeLab where I can host an instance of it
