Is this some dark pattern or what?

I clicked settings, this appeared, clicking away hid it but now I cant see any setting for it.

The nasty way of reading that popup, my first way of reading it, was that filestash sends crash reports and usage data, and I have the option to have it not be shared with third parties, but that it is always sent, and it defaults to sharing with third parties. The OK is always consenting to share crash reports and usage.

I'm not sure if it's actually operating that way, but if it's not the language should probably be

    Help make this software better by sending crash reports and anonymous usage statistics.

    Your data is never shared with a third party.

    [ ] Send crash reports & anonymous usage data.
    

    [ OK ]

Another alternative that follows this paradigm is rclone

Hi, I really like how the software is setup, but there is almost no documentation. This makes it hard to setup. I want to run it with the local storage plugin, but it keeps using / as the storage location and I want it to use /data which I volume mount. Maybe think about improving the documentation :)

I was looking at running [versitygw](https://github.com/versity/versitygw) but filestash looks pretty sweet! Any chance you're familiar with Versity and how the S3 proxy may differ?

Didn't know about filestash yet. Kudos, this framework seems to be really well implemented, I really like the plugin and interface based architecture.

There's also a CLA with full copyright assignment, so yeah, I'd steer clear of that one: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/main/CLA.md

Not sure what you mean about Ceph wanting to be in a single rack.

I run Ceph at work. We have some clusters spanning 20 racks in a network fabric that has over 100 racks.

In a typical Leaf-Spine network architecture, you can easily have sub 100 microsecond network latency which would translate to sub millisecond Ceph latencies.

We have one site that is Leaf-Spine-SuperSpine, and the difference in network latency is barely measurable between machines in the same network pod and between different network pods.

I don't think this is a problem. The CLA is there to avoid future legal disputes. It prevents contributors from initiating IP lawsuits later on, which could cause significantly more trouble for the project.

SeaweedFS's new `weed mini` command[0] does a great job at that. Previously our most flakey tests in CI were due to MinIO sometimes not starting up properly, but with `weed mini` that was completely resolved.

Minio started like that but they migrated away from it. It's just hard to keep it up once you start implementing advanced S3 features (versioning/legal hold, metadata etc.) and storage features (replication/erasure coding)

Yes I'm looking for exactly that and unfortunately haven't found a solution.

Tried garage, but they require running a proxy for CORS, which makes signed browser uploads a practical impossibility for the development machine. I had no idea that such a simple popular scenario is in fact too exotic.

What about s3 stored in SQLite? https://github.com/seddonm1/s3ite

This was written to store many thousands of images for machine learning

From what I can gather, S3Proxy[1] can do this, but relies on a Java library that's no longer maintained[2], so not really much better.

I too think it would be great with a simple project that can serve S3 from filesystem, for local deployments that doesn't need balls to the walls performance.

[2]: https://jclouds.apache.org/

The problem with that approach is that S3 object names are not compatible with POSIX file names. They can contain characters that are not valid on a filesystem, or have special meaning (like "/")

A simple litmus test I like to do with S3 storages is to create two objects, one called "foo" and one called "foo/bar". If the S3 uses a filesystem as backend, only the first of those can be created

I've been looking into rclone which can serve s3 in a basic way https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_serve_s3/

For testing, consider https://github.com/localstack/localstack

Try versitygw.

I’m considering it for a production deployment, too. There’s much to be said for a system that doesn’t lock your data in to its custom storage format.

I believe the Minio developers are aware of the alternatives, having only their own commercial solution listed as alternatives might be a deliberate decision. But you can try merging the PR, there's nothing wrong with it

While I do approve of that MR, doing it is ironic considering the topic was "MinIO repository is no longer maintained"

Let's hope the editor has second thoughts on some parts

The mentioned AIStor "alternative" is on the min.io website. It seems like a re-brand. I doubt they will link to competing products.

there is one thing that worries me about rustfs: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs/blob/main/rustfs/src/licens...

I expect rugpull in the future

I don't think this is a problem. The CLA is there to avoid future legal disputes. It prevents contributors from initiating IP lawsuits later on, which could cause significantly more trouble for the project.

Garage doesn't support CORS which makes it impossible to use for development for scenarios where web site visitors PUT files to pre-signed URLs.
