Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.

    I‘m currently trying to bring up a rather complicated setup using garage. Garage on Homeserver behind firewall, vpn relay, peertube and other s3 compatible services on a vps. Garage works rather weill, the vpn is giving me a hard time though. Can recommend.

    Thoughts on this vs postgres blob storage? I know they aren’t the same thing.

      Buckets have a lot of features that postgres don’t. Like mounting via FUSE. And Garage in particular offers some integrations to apps, websited, and so on. I would go with this instead of having a column of byte data in a DB table. The pgsql solution might work in small and simple cases (e.g. storing the user’s avatar in a forum) but even so, if I could or had to choose, I wouldn’t do it.

        Great points.

        For isolated projects in the past I’ve had great success storing things in postgres,. (generally large documents that are relationally tied to other more traditional PG data, in a db driven project) Just saying size and recall have been pretty happy.

        As you say the other features are distinguishing.

      I’m always personally wary of storing blobs in a database if for no other reason it’s going to totally be more expensive to store on a server rather than in some sort of blob storage.

    I have been mostly happy with minio but the setup and update process are a bit painful so next time I find myself annoyed with it I might have to give this a shot.

    So it compares to existing products, but it’s less mature? Why should anyone care?

      Compared to MinIO, it has more storage backend flexibility, cross-region replication is easy, it is resilient to less-than-ideal network conditions between nodes. Did you bother reading the website?

      I’m not sure why your immediate reaction to having more options is negative.
