Not everyone can store their data in cloud services, most likely.
That said, self-hosted S3 compatible solutions like MinIO might be a good choice: https://github.com/minio/minio https://github.com/minio/minio or maybe SeaweedFS for something with a more permissive license: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

- more_corn 2y agoHaving walked people through both I’m going to say setting up a client for an S3 clone is easier.
- jiggawatts 2y ago> Not everyone can store their data in cloud This is a nearly verbatim conversation I’ve had three or four times in the last twelve months: “Why not just use blob storage for the data ingest?” “We have security standards for sensitive data; we have to use private links and validated protocols and systems.” “Okay, what’s step two? Where does the data end up? Where do end users consume it from?” “Power BI!” “The local app?” “No, the online version.” “You just said you can’t use cloud services like blob storage!” “We can’t!” “You’re using Power BI!” “That’s different!” “How?” “Err…”
- dspillett 2y agoSimilar, though only for one client ATM, and our clients are fine with cloud storage these days as long as everything is in an account properly locked down (bring your own key, etc.) so only their application instances can access it. At least the data doesn't rest (as far as we know…) in PowerBI.
