I added an Zenko Scality CloudServer S3-compatible Storage backend to a selfhosted Grist [1] instance. This allowed me to create forms with attachements in Grist (e.g. users can upload photos). I experimented with several and settled on Zenko Scality CloudServer [2]:

- MinIO [3] is somewhat deprecated and not really open source anymore. Its future is unsure.

- GarageHQ [4] looks pretty great and I wished I could have used this, but it is not yet feature-complete with S3 protocol and specifically missing the versioning feature (I reported this [5])

- Zenko Scality works out of the box; it is a bit too "big" for my context (aimed at thousands of parallel users) and uses 500MB memory; but it does the job for now.

I posted my compose here [6]. Since then (~months ago), it works really well and I am happy with Zenko Scality S3.
