for those looking for a simple and reliable self hosted S3 thing, check out Garage . it's much simpler - no web ui, no fancy RS coding, no VC-backed AI company, just some french nerds making a very solid tool.

fwiw while they do produce Docker containers for it, it's also extremely simple to run without that - it's a single binary and running it with systemd is unsurprisingly simple[1].

How do you sustain yourselves while developing this project?

What if the sponsorships run out?

  • What if a company change license, drop the project or goes bankrupt?

    You shouldn't expect guarantee of any kind.

      You can always fork the project, then the questions of sponsorships still remains.

      Recently Ghostty is a non profit, which means that it is guaranteed not to turn into a for profit and rugpull like what MinIO has done.
