    (Mirror) S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments. Main repo: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage (by deuxfleurs-org)

  • It was actually deliberate to present our project through the political lens, today.

    You will find a more streamlined presentation of Garage on our landing page at https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

    Technical details are also documented (although it is insufficient and needs an overhaul): https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/

    Thank you for your comments!

  • Seaweed File System

    Discontinued SeaweedFS is a fast distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, for billions of files! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, cloud tiering. Filer supports Cloud Drive, cross-DC active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX FUSE mount, S3 API, S3 Gateway, Hadoop, WebDAV, encryption, Erasure Coding.

  • If you're still talking about SeaweedFS, the answer seems to simply be that it's not a "raft-based object store" as the parent described. That 'proxy' node you mention is a volume server itself, and replicates it's whole volume on another server. Upon replication failures, the data becomes read-only [1]. Raft is not used for the writes.

  • pithos

    Discontinued UNMAINTAINED - cassandra-backed object store. Retired backend for Exoscale's Simple Object Storage offering. (by exoscale)

  • synapse-s3-storage-provider

    Synapse storage provider to fetch and store media in Amazon S3

  • Nebula

    A scalable overlay networking tool with a focus on performance, simplicity and security

  • I've been looking through the available options for this use-case, with the same motivation given in this post, and was surprised to see there wasn't something which could fit this niche (until now!).

    Really happy to see this being worked on by a dedicated team. Combined with a tool like https://github.com/slackhq/nebula this could help form the foundation of a fully autonomous, durable, online community.

  • matrix.to

    A simple stateless privacy-protecting URL redirecting service for Matrix

  • And you are cordially invited to our chatroom on Matrix, if you want to hack around Garage: https://matrix.to/#/#garage:deuxfleurs.fr

    We used to mostly talk French there - until yesterday!

  • MooseFS

    MooseFS – Open Source, Petabyte, Fault-Tolerant, Highly Performing, Scalable Network Distributed File System (Software-Defined Storage)

  • MooseFS is designed for large files and can have a global goal of 1 copy (no replication)
