cloudserver

I added an Zenko Scality CloudServer S3-compatible Storage backend to a selfhosted Grist [1] instance. This allowed me to create forms with attachements in Grist (e.g. users can upload photos). I experimented with several and settled on Zenko Scality CloudServer [2]: - MinIO [3] is somewhat deprecated and not really open source anymore. Its future is unsure. - GarageHQ [4] looks pretty great and I wished I could have used this, but it is not yet feature-complete with S3 protocol and specifically missing the versioning feature (I reported this [5]) - Zenko Scality works out of the box; it is a bit too "big" for my context (aimed at thousands of parallel users) and uses 500MB memory; but it does the job for now. I posted my compose here [6]. Since then (~months ago), it works really well and I am happy with Zenko Scality S3. [1]: https:

They point to AIStor as alternative. Other alternatives: https://github.com/deuxfleurs-org/garage https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs https://github.com/supabase/storage https://github.com/scality/cloudserver https://github.com/ceph/ceph Among others

There's also SeaweedFS (https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/wiki/Amazon-S3-API) and Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/) that are promising, in addition to MinIO. There was also Zenko, but that one seems to be in a bit of an awkward place: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/5469 I'm all for using on-prem self hosted options when available, personally I run my own mail server (though a pre packaged version), Nextcloud, Gitea and many other services. However, that's mostly for my own personal needs and to explore the software out there. In many of the orgs out there, especially the larger ones, telling people that they should provision their own hardware because I want to run a self hosted piece of software instead of pressing a few buttons in a web UI somewhere (or having a few scripts written and run) to provision things

> Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet. Depends on whether AGPLv3 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 AGPLv3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/s
