One I’m writing. I use the host file system (as I have a strong preference for simple) for it’s storage, but I’m interested in adding Litestream for replicating the database onto AWS.
If you need S3-compliant storage for testing and development, you can use an S3 mock server. I’ve tried the following for use in web development and CI environments, they are lightweight and configurable:
That’s what annoyed me about minio. Started super crazy simple to set up, but I missed two updates and came back to AWS levels of mandatory configuration. Ffs I chose you because you were simple, not because I needed to replace s3
I’ve used minio briefly, and I’ve never used any other self hosted object storage. In the context of spinning it up with docker, it’s pretty easy. The difficult part in my project was that I wanted some buckets predefined. The docker image doesn’t provide this functionality directly, so I had to spin up an adjacent container with the minio cli that would create the buckets automatically every time I spun up minio.
But for your use case you would manage bucket creation manually, from the UI. It seems straight forward enough, and I don’t have complaints. I think it would work for your use case, but I can’t say its any worse or better than alternatives.
I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.
Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:
