When Redis messed with their licensing terms a while ago, I thought to myself, "which project that I rely on will be next?" And I kept thinking it was going to be Minio.

So I switched from Minio to Garage a few months ago and it has worked great. I used the AWS cli to start copying everything over one evening, and when I get up the next day, it was done. My S3 use is just one giant bucket for my music collection in Funkwhale, so I only had the one command to run. After updating the S3 urls in Funkwhale's configuration, everything was good to go.

This has all made me start paying closer to attention to what kind of organization is behind the various open source projects that I use. Garage is made by a web development shop in France -- they might even be a coop, or I might be thinking of someone else. I could be wrong about that last part. But they're definitely not a VC-backed operation like Minio.
