I don't cet how people are developing app using s3 without actually having a local s3 server ? Everyone is like "just use aws / whatever trendy host atm" but while developping ? I use garage but the main issue i have is the mandatory random keys which means i cannot hardcode them in my compose file. For prod, sure you want that. In dev ? Absolutely not I want to be able to clone my repo, dc up -d and lets go.

I also had quite a hard time to chose one for my homelab too. Settled on garage too but why is it that complicated ? I just want a "FS api" for remote storage in my app. Over http so that i dont have to do weird custom setup just to have a network share and handle everything manually
