That's great for production AWS managed services, but that still sounds like the opposite of self-hosting to me, I don't need scaling like that, I'm not lying when I admit I'm using sshfs (which was a slightly tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to s3) and despite everyone dunking on it, it is in fact working perfectly at my scale. I know I've been downvoted to purgatory but I still stand by my original comment. I don't understand why you would need S3 or S3 compatibility in a self-hosting context. The closest someone has come to explaining it is the guy who said choice is good... like, yeah, it's good to have the choice I guess, but... still doesn't seem like a great choice for self-hosting. I appreciate you trying to explain it but I feel like everyone is missing the self-hosting context here. For a little home lab I simply don't see the value. Why are people promoting AWS and AWS-adjacent services here?

You didn't talk about self-hosting in your initial comment. S3 is not made for you, I guess it' ok to just move on to the next article

I don't know where you're seeing this, maybe this is a Fediverse thing, but I'm literally on Selfhosted@lemmy.world right now.
