    Shit, I am actually building a webtool and thought Minio could be a good part to be a file storage in it. What’s an good alternative?

    Edit: I try “garage”

    I’ve honestly never understood the need for s3 buckets. WebDAV satisfies my needs. I’m sure there are some use cases that require S3, but for the life of me I can’t think of one off the top of my head right now.

      I use an external S3 provider so that I only pay for the storage I use for the services I host. It’s dirt cheap, 0.00002750€ per GiB hour (excluding tax). Self-hosting something like MinIO for your app gives you the option of switching to an external provider later on, and it gives you flexibility in the location of the storage.
