Find a host for bananas-archive

We need to find a more robust solution to host the Bananas Archive. The storage requirements are:

  • ~ 1.5GB per kernel release
  • ~ 170MB per mesa release
  • ~ 700MB per console-only installer image
  • ~ 2GB per GNOME installer image
  • ~ 2.7GB per KDE installer image

Assuming we have 4 archive suites (trixie, testing, unstable, experimental; we don't have all of them at this time, but we could in the future) and adding the space for one spare kernel so that updates can be downloaded before removing old versions, we need a minimum of 8.2GB for the debs, which we round up to 10GB.

Assuming one installer image of each kind and adding the space for one more set of such images (again so updates can be downloaded before removing old versions), we need a minimum of 11GB for installer images, which we round up to 15GB.

In total, we need 25GB storage, which we should round up to 30-40GB to avoid surprises (and have some room left).
