Garage - An open-source distributed object storage service
garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr
An open-source distributed storage service you can self-host to fullfill many needs.

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.

    Thoughts on this vs postgres blob storage? I know they aren’t the same thing.

      Buckets have a lot of features that postgres don’t. Like mounting via FUSE. And Garage in particular offers some integrations to apps, websited, and so on. I would go with this instead of having a column of byte data in a DB table. The pgsql solution might work in small and simple cases (e.g. storing the user’s avatar in a forum) but even so, if I could or had to choose, I wouldn’t do it.

      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.
