atbswp VS seaweedfs

This book is definitely a good starting point, and if you want a glimpse of what you can achieve with an automation library (pyautogui in the case of the book), do check out atbswp

Using the library of the author pyautogui, I developed a macro recorder atbswp (Yes like the book) which makes it very easy to automate boring tasks, do check it out.

Seems I am late to the party. Anyway, if you like automation, check out atbswp

Shameless plug, you can do the same with this[0] albeit not in the CLI.

Source: I use both in a project of mine atbswp

I just released a new version of atbswp I intend to start working on the v0.3 (or 0.2.1 not sure yet)

Just to add options on top of QT5, there's also wxPython. It's pretty good, and fwiw, I use it for this project not the most convoluted GUI out there but it works. Iirc there's also Pysimplegui but I never used it.

Not necessarily, you can use a CI pipeline to verify that your project can be build with many Python versions. This is the workflow I use here[0]. It makes catching and fixing breaking changes easier. Plus, I'm confident the core team is not likely to introduce a painful breaking change (think Python 2 -> 3) soon[1]

Whoops: WebDAV:

SeaweedFS supports WebDAV. https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/WebDAV

I'm not able to find if both/restic supports mounting backups as WebDAV, but in theory there's nothing stopping you.

It's 100% user space (expose a rest service) and supported by a bunch of file-browsers with a bit of a network aware component to it as well.

If you want/need to take out the metadata, there's some nice solutions for that https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

I posted this on https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/discussions/5290

I like the idea of using SeaweedFS as an intermediate layer with object write notifications going to SQS, RabbitMQ, or a local file, which could also allow me to observe the changes to different files through a metric collection layer like Prometheus and Grafana.

> 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
