I'll be here in the comments to answer any questions.

  What storage backend(s) are you planning to support?
  • sytse 11y ago
    For now just files on disk (NFS block devices) I think. Of course an s3 compatible interface would be cool to have.

      Or OpenStack Swift.
      • sytse 11y ago
        Doesn't Swift support the s3 protocol? https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/APIFeatureComparison#Amazon_S3_REST_API_Compatability https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Swift/APIFeatureComparison#A... (just like Ceph and others)
        • JoshTriplett 11y ago
          More or less; just requesting that if you add S3 support, you use a compatible subset of the API that Swift supports.

            OK, thanks.

  Since Git LFS support in GitLab is targeted at both CE and EE, do you expect to open up the EE-only git-annex support to CE as well since the two features serve similar purposes? Edit: "GitLab," not "GibLab," haha.
  • sytse 11y ago
    Thanks for asking. Right now the plan is to keep git-annex EE only. Git Annex can do some neat tricks (multiple storage interfaces, etc.) that Git LFS can't do. But I agree it is not a very congruent situation. We might reconsider when Git LFS is production ready.
