Comment on Garage - An open-source distributed storage service

I'm trying to wrap my head around what the implementation of a self-hosted distributed filesystem looks like. Is the idea that I would get a few friends, all running servers in our separate homes, and run a garage instance across all of them?

Yes pretty much. That seems to the the intended use-case, but I think it could also be used locally to distribute/replicate storage on multiple servers easily.
Of course the "friend" could be also a VPS rented somewhere as a off-site backup.

That is cool then! I don't see an application for myself at the moment, but anything that implements AWS services without Amazon (or any corp for that matter) is great in my book!
