Tried setting up rustfs today. It was easier that garagehq and it even comes with UI.

RustFS is the poster child in my mind for the worst kind of vibe-coded slop. it might be "simple" but it's not something I would ever trust with persistent data. last year they had a security vulnerability where they allowed a hardcoded "rustfs rpc" token to bypass all authentication [0] and even worse, if you read the resulting reddit thread [1] someone tracked down the culprit commits - it was introduced in July [2…

Ah, progress!

S3 isn't "simple" tho. It doesn't need to care about POSIX mess but there is whole swathes of features many implementations miss or are incomplete, both on frontend side (serving files with right headers, or with right authentication) and backend (user/policy management, legal hold, versioning etc.) It gets even more messy when migrating, for example migrating your backups to garagefs will lose you versioning, which…

I just spent some time with the s3 protocol and I agree completely. What should have been able to leverage the simplifying assumptions turned into another hodgepodge. It’s not like nfs is a real shining example of simplicity either. I’ve never worked with p9, but potentially that aside I think we really failed to come up with a decent distributed file model,

I think we get a "S3 clone" about once every week or two on the Golang reddit. It strikes me as a classic case of "we need all the interested people to pull in one project, not each start their own". AI may have made this worse then ever.

S3 with tree-shaking. i.e. specify the features you need, out comes an executable for that subset of S3 features you desire.

Or like lodash custom builds.

Well, OP, your requirements section is seriously lacking. You need "s3", but only local, non horizontally scalable?

You failed to answer why you even need s3... Why not a filesystem? Full stop. The entire point of s3 is distributed.

   I just need something that can do S3 and is reliable and not slow.
Oh, simply that.

I'm a simple man, I just need edge delivered cdn content that never fails and responds within 20ms.

I wanted to try NVIDIA’s aistore for our datasets, but I couldn’t figure out how to get a small version up and running so I gave up (a few years ago, today I’d get an LLM to show me how k8s works).
