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] and not even reviewed by another human before being merged.

then the fix 6 months later [3] mentions fixing a different security vulnerability, and seemingly only fixed the hardcoded token vulnerability by accident. that PR was also only reviewed by an LLM, not a human.
