- The user wants a reliable, non-slow S3-compatible storage solution for basic needs without scaling or replication.
- Minio is no longer suitable due to the company shifting focus to AI and past issues with bug handling.
- Garage, built in Rust, is complex, young, and missing S3 features, making it too heavy.
- SeaweedFS is innovative with multi-protocol support but suffers from slow performance on LAN even for small files.
- CEPH is highly capable and comparable to Amazon S3 but overly complex for basic use cases.
- Versity GW is highlighted as a lesser-known solution used by large institutions and offers S3 gateway functionality.
- Versity GW uses the local filesystem for storage with xattrs for metadata, providing fast performance and a web interface.
- The user successfully implemented Versity GW and achieved expected high-speed LAN transfers, with hopes for future ZFS-based object storage.
