Zenko VS garage

> Iteration speed and blazing fast automated tests.

Wholeheartedly agreed!

It is also nice to have that additional assurance of being able to self-host things (if ever necessary) and not being locked into a singular implementation. For example, that's why managed database offerings generally aren't that risky to use, given that they're built on already established projects (e.g. compatible with MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL).

MinIO is pretty good, but licensing wise could become problematic if you don't work on something open source but ever want to run it in prod. Not really what this discussion is about, but AGPL is worth mentioning: https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/LICENSE

That said, thankfully S3 is so common that we have alternatives even to MinIO available, like Zenko https://www.zenko.io/ and Garage https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ both of which are good for both local development as well as hosting in whatever environments necessary.

Have you seen https://www.zenko.io already? Would that be something that could work for you? It‘s more or less an additional layer with s3 support for existing infrastructure.

Well, technically with a bit of work you can use anything self-hosted that is S3 compatible.

Personally, I rather like:

  - https://www.zenko.io/

Have you seen this project: https://github.com/scality/Zenko

Take a look at GarageS3, it's a niceoption for "just an S3 server" for self hosting.

https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

I use it for self hosting.

Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) gets pretty close for object storage. It’s built with mixing high/low latency links and replication between multiple hosts. Unfortunately it’s not really built for end-users, but devs, so there’s no ui or anything like that.

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

Ah, you should check out Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) for a self-hosted, cluster-y API of S3

I'm a big fan of Garage[1], which is a dead-simple S3 drop-in that you can host on your own drives. It's designed for consumer hardware with shitty internet in-between nodes.

One more thing we are also proud of: a bunch of our users is using the object storage Garage, this OSS project looks really promising, and we really cherish the OSS for this kind of unexpected combination.

- Another nice comment seen on HN « it seems to be very easy to run, not very IO intensive, and running fine on a single node with modest hardware with >2 billion log rows. It has a really cool dynamic schema feature too.» [9]

Fun fact: at least 4 users are using Garage[10] as the object storage, this OSS project looks really promising and made the HN front page a few months ago[11], we really cherish the OSS for this kind of unexpected combination.

Any feedback positive/negative always greatly appreciated here!

On the technical side, garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) does multi master replication by default, so is probably better for this use case. Still with S3 API.

You are looking for garage.
