Anyone used this successfully in their setup?
Garage is an S3-compatible distributed object storage service designed for self-hosting at a small-to-medium scale.
Garage is designed for storage clusters composed of nodes running at different physical locations, in order to easily provide a storage service that replicates data at these different locations and stays available even when some servers are unreachable. Garage also focuses on being lightweight, easy to operate, and highly resilient to machine failures.
Garage is built by Deuxfleurs, an experimental small-scale self hosted service provider, which has been using it in production since its first release in 2020.
S3 compatible means tooling compatible. Plenty of small to medium operations who aren’t tripping over themselves to throw money at the cloud. A couple guys with hardware admin and docker admin experience is ridiculously cheaper.
Ok, that’s fair, thank you.
But distributed geographical sites? Useful for SME’s and above, but aside from a few edge cases where friends might want to share hosting resources, is that a homelab thing?
