E2EE cloud storage providers with FOSS clients? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

It doesn't seem to exist. I'd like a solution to upload and sync my photos and my KeePass database, but I'm really hesitant to upload personal photos unencrypted to services exposed to the internet. Unfortunately self-hosting a Nextcloud instance on my LAN isn't possible at this moment, but maybe a VPS with a strict firewall and a mesh VPN like Tailscale or Netbird? But honestly I'd rather just pay someone for the trouble.

What do you suggest? Clients need to be FOSS and available on Linux and Android, and on Android they need to be available on F-Droid (thus no proprietary blobs or libraries from Google).

What exactly would you like? If you want something like an EC2 instance (or the google/azure equivalent), those have volumes are encrypted at rest, and you can install all your services you need including a VPN and SSL certificates.

At rest disk encryption is super easy to set up, but that's different from E2EE. Key management and encryption should happen client side.
