I wrote a script using bash to help renew lets encrypt ssl issued using on a minio instance. Minio is an s3 compatible storage. Basically, the ssl is issued via certbot but files need to be moved around. I found myself every now and then having my minio ssl expired and I didn't know. so i created this script to check daily when the hostname ssl expires and to renew it automatically. hope it helps someone with a similar need.

#!/bin/bash
PUSHOVER_API_TOKEN='xxxxx'
PUSHOVER_API_USER='xxxx'

HOSTNAME=$(hostname)


DEFAULT_PRIVATEKEY_LOCATION=/etc/letsencrypt/live/$HOSTNAME/privkey.pem
DEFAULT_CERTIFICATE_LOCATION=/etc/letsencrypt/live/$HOSTNAME/fullchain.pem

MINIO_USERNAME=minio-user
MINIO_PRIVATEKEY_LOCATION=/etc/minio/certs/private.key
MINIO_CERTIFICATE_LOCATION=/etc/minio/certs/public.crt


certexpiredays(){
    EXPIREDATE=$(openssl x509 -in $MINIO_CERTIFICATE_LOCATION -enddate -noout | sed "s/.*=\(.*\)/\1/")
    EXPIRE_DATE_IN_SECONDS=$(date -d "${EXPIREDATE}" +%s)
    NOW_IN_SECONDS=$(date -d now +%s)
    DATE_DIFF_IN_SECONDS=$(( (EXPIRE_DATE_IN_SECONDS - NOW_IN_SECONDS) / 86400 ))

    echo $DATE_DIFF_IN_SECONDS
}


notify(){
    STATUS=$1

    local TITLE="Renewal of Minio SSL"
    if [[  $STATUS -eq 0  ]]
    then
        local MESSAGE="SUCCESS! Minio SSL successfully replenished for https://$HOSTNAME:9000"
    else
        local MESSAGE="FAILED! Could not complete SSL renewal for minio. Status code: $STATUS for https://$HOSTNAME:9000"

Are there any cheap alternatives to IDrive?

I have been using IDrive Backup for years. It's really cheap with 10TB for $5 if you create a new account every year.
I have added IDrive e2 within the last year for two separate offsite locations, and it's coming up for renewal soon. I expect I will also be able to get 1TB for $4 again if I sign up for a new account under a different email.

I mainly backup from a Synology NAS so Degoo and Prism etc. will not be an option.

Another question: Google Drive (2TB, $10/month) or AWS-S3 (2TB) (which one is cheapest)

Please recommend and give your suggestions.
