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 remember when minio just started and it was small and easy to run. Nowadays, it’s a full-blown enterprise product, though, full of features you’ll never care about in a homelab eating on your cpu and ram.

    Garage is small and easy to run. I’ve been toying with it for several months and I’m more than happy with its simple API and tiny footprint. I even run my (static html) blog off it because it’s just easier to deploy it to a S3-compatible API.

      Minio now describes itself as “S3 & Kubernetes Native Object Storage for AI” - lol

      Guess it’s time to look for alternatives if you’re not doing ML stuff

        Of course it does AI now!

        But seriously, the easiest guide for minio setup meant using their operator. The garage guide was: spin up this single deploy and it works from there.
