Seaweed FS Reviews and Details

• Scaling to 1M concurrent sandboxes in seconds

  Sounds like the lesson learned is using the right tool for the job -- reusing Kubernetes in an existing cluster to spin up sandboxes is a fair initial path to start offering the service. But Kubernetes likely isn't meant for rapid churn of workloads, here sandboxes. The architecture to me seemed very similar to SeaweedFS [1] (Facebook Haystack [2]) except with an extra layer for sandbox-hosting nodes. Like... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Migrate from Crunchy Data PostgreSQL Operator to Percona PostgreSQL Operator: The Standby Cluster Method

  All examples in this guide use an in-cluster SeaweedFS instance as the pgBackRest S3 repository. SeaweedFS is Apache-2.0 licensed, actively maintained, and a clean drop-in replacement for the role MinIO used to fill in this stack. Any other S3-compatible storage works just as well: AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage (via HMAC keys), Ceph RadosGW, Cloudflare R2, and so on. For non-SeaweedFS endpoints, remove... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Is there any good open-source alternative to MinIO?

  I'm thinking maybe SeaweedFS [0, 2] or Versity Gatweway [1, 3]. Seems there are other options, too: RustFS [4], Garage [5]. I only used MinIO briefly in the past, but plan to set up S3 blob storage again soon.

• MinIO is now in maintenance-mode

  There is https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs I haver not used it but will be likely a good minion alternative for people who want to run a server and don't use minio just as s3 client. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• MinIO is now in maintenance-mode

  Do you want to serve already existing files from a directory or just that the backend is a directory on your server? If the answer is the latter, seaweedfs is an option: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-with-single-binary. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• MinIO (apparently) becomes source-only

  I think Minio is the only Go client for S3 API and S3-compatible APIs. I cannot say I liked using it, but I had no choice. Nowadays I run my own file storage with my own API, so I no longer care. But if anyone wants to run their own file storage(so not a client), there is https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Running our Docker registry on-prem with Harbor

  Https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs#compared-to-other-file-systems is handy, and I like that they support "sane" metadata stores and don't just do something dumb like make me run etcd. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• DevOps Isn't Dead, but It's Not in Great Health Either

  > Just have them upload blobs to S3 or Azure Storage. Not everyone can store their data in cloud services, most likely. That said, S3 compatible solutions like MinIO might be a good choice: https://github.com/minio/minio. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• S3 Is Showing Its Age

  > When it gets too out of hand, people will paper it over with a new, simpler abstraction layer, and the process starts again, only with a layer of garbage spaghetti underneath. I'm pretty happy that there are S3 compatible stores that you can host yourself, that aren't insanely complex.

• Google Cloud Storage FUSE

  JuiceFS is mostly POSIX compatible, but there are important caveats to that like no ACL, copying files changes their mtime (which impacts backup tools), has "close-to-open" consistency (which makes it dangerous for log appenders).

• My Experience Self Hosting

  Supabase-Storage uses an S3 compatible API and is ultimately just middleware for it. So, the redundancy would be at the storage backend systems. Seems like the majority of s3 compatible selfhosted systems are built for redundancy/high-availability.
