Note: I am not affiliated with this project in any way. I think it’s a very promising alternative to things like MinIO and deserves more attention.
What’s the difference between this and minio?
Minio is definitely not designed to be self hosted on a small server by normal people but more for enterprise use where you have multiple servers and you’re paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for support
Minio didnt need a container rig crutch to lean on when I last looked at it.
I‘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.
Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.
Has anyone compared it against seaweedfs?
Thoughts on this vs postgres blob storage? I know they aren’t the same thing.
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.
I 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.

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.
