Garage - An open-source distributed object storage service
garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr
An open-source distributed storage service you can self-host to fullfill many needs.

Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.

    I remember when minio just started and it was small and easy to run. Nowadays, it’s a full-blown enterprise product, though, full of features you’ll never care about in a homelab eating on your cpu and ram.

    Garage is small and easy to run. I’ve been toying with it for several months and I’m more than happy with its simple API and tiny footprint. I even run my (static html) blog off it because it’s just easier to deploy it to a S3-compatible API.

      Minio now describes itself as “S3 & Kubernetes Native Object Storage for AI” - lol

      Guess it’s time to look for alternatives if you’re not doing ML stuff

        S3 storage is simpler than running scp -r to a remote node, because you can copy files to S3 in a massively parallel way and scp is generally sequential. It’s very easy to protect the API too, as it’s just HTTP (and at it, it’s also significantly faster than WebDAV).

              Bro, I’m an AWS Cloud Solution Architect and I seriously don’t know what you’re talking about. And, no, when I waste time on Lemmy, then there is literally nothing better to do.

              AWS made S3. People built software to integrate S3 as a storage backend. Other people didn’t want to do AWS, and built single-node imitations of the S3 service. Now you use those services and think that is S3, while it is only a crude replica of what S3 really is. At this point the S3 API is redundant and you could just as well store your assets close to your application. You have no real, global S3 delivery service anyway. What’s the point?

              Most people misuse AWS S3. Using stuff like minio is even more misguided.
