TechnoguyficationGarage is an open source S3-compatible object storage cluster designed for self hosting
Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.
Thoughts on this vs postgres blob storage? I know they aren’t the same thing.
adr1anBuckets 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.
Has anyone compared it against seaweedfs?
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.
HauiI‘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.

RonnyZittledongI 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.
