So how are HN reviews of GarageHQ? Or any others?

Garage works well for its limited feature set, but it doesn't have very active development. Apparently they're working on a management UI.

Seaweedfs is more mature and has many interfaces (S3, webdav, SFTP, REST, fuse mount). It's most appropriate for storing lots of small files.

I prefer the command line interface and data/synchronization model of Garage, though. It's easier to manage, probably because the developers aren't biting off more than they can chew.

I havn't tested it since a while, but it was pretty good and a lot simpler than MinIO.

Like in the old MinIO days, an S3 object is a file on the filesystem, not some replicated blocks. You could always rebuild the full object store content with a few rsync. I appreciate the simplicity.

My main concern was that you couldn't configure it easily through files, you had to use CLI, which wasn't very convenient. I hope this has changed.
