S3 Server VS seaweedfs

> 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

Another option to consider is building an S3 server using free solutions like Minio, Scality Server to create and provide S3 compatible object storage thus backup data to own S3 immutable server. https://min.io/ https://github.com/scality/cloudserver

For the project, you can deploy free solutions like Minio, Scality Server to create and provide S3 compatible object storage for your clients, to which they can upload their data using any S3 client. You let the create personal folders known as buckets and upload data there. https://min.io/ https://github.com/scality/cloudserver

Another upvote for building an S3-based backup server. For the project, you can deploy free solutions like Minio, Scality Server to provide S3 compatible object storage for your clients which is ransomware resilient. https://min.io/ https://github.com/scality/cloudserver

Another vote for building S3 storage. For the project, you can deploy free solutions like Minio, Scality Server to provide S3 storage to your clients connected to your VPN. https://min.io/ https://github.com/scality/cloudserver Check tinc as a simple VPN https://www.tinc-vpn.org/ To upload data onto offsite storage you can use free Rclone, Duplicati, MSP360, and other tools that support the S3 protocol. https://www.vmwareblog.org/single-cloud-enough-secure-backups-5-cool-cross-cloud-solutions-consider/

I'm just trying to avoid the cross-provider complexity where possible.... considered loading up Azure App Services with CloudServer (https://www.zenko.io/cloudserver/) as its just Node.js, but i think i'm getting too cute for something that I can drop into DigitalOcean or AWS quickly.

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.
