Comment on Loops Joins the Fediverse

For anyone else who was thinking of starting an instance, local storage is still a no-go right now
S3-Compatible Storage Required Currently, Loops requires an S3-compatible filesystem (like AWS S3, MinIO, or DigitalOcean Spaces) for avatar and video storage. Support for local storage is on the way but is not yet implemented. Please ensure you have S3 credentials ready before proceeding.

To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

Yeah, I wouldn’t bother implementing local storage if I could easily roll a local S3 in the docker-compose.yaml.

Cloudflare provides 10 GB of free (forever) S3 compatible storage too.
smiletolerantly@awful.systems 3 weeks ago
Yeah but why would I make myself dependent on Cloudflare.
avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 3 weeks ago
Yes

Good to know, thank you! I haven’t touched S3 storage yet in my self hosting journey

It’s an exciting world of file-to-object-to-file thunking. I’m surprised when it all works.
