Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

i'll give you the second case, but nobody should plan for putting stuff on aws with the world as it looks right now...

Practically every other object storage provider offers an S3-compatible API.

I use S3 with OVH at my workplace. So it's not just aws / google.

S3 isn't just an AWS thing anymore. It has kind of become the standard object storage protocol, and almost every cloud provider uses it aside from a few the made their own API's (e.g. Azure Blob storage)

IONOS and ImpossibleCloud for instance are ones we use.
I think Hetzner and OVH also offer S3 buckets.

Scaleway, Exoscale, Cyso, Contabo, UpCloud, and others too

There are numerous other vendors with S3 API-compatibility.

Genuine question, what are the alternatives not called Azure/GCP?
