- Started self-hosting S3 for AppGoblin’s SDK tracking to save costs.
- Used a second-hand Framework laptop (missing screen) as a home server.
- Added a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) for storage.
- Running ZFS + Garage S3 on the setup.
- System ran smoothly for months without issues, using 10TB of space.
- Successfully restarted and updated Garage S3 without problems.
- Upgraded from Garage v1 to v2 seamlessly.
- Non-standard ZFS setup due to USB connection between laptop and JBOD.
- Initially faced ZFS issues due to SQLite metadata on JBOD.
- Resolved issues by moving metadata to the laptop.
