ZeroFS will work with any S3 implementation that supports conditional writes. Even something a bit premium-priced like CloudFlare R2 goes for around $15/TB and has no egress costs. If you want to go for as cheap as possible, I'd throw minio or similar on a few cheap Hetzner storage servers https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx/ https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-sx/
- aspenmayer 1y agoHow does this compare to rclone, as I also asked in a top level comment? rclone can mount S3 as a union mount so it seems to have the same feature set? Have you benchmarked ZeroFS against rclone? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45178548 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45178548
- Eikon 1y agoUnless I am missing something, rclone will probably compare similarly to https://www.zerofs.net/zerofs-vs-mountpoint-s3 https://www.zerofs.net/zerofs-vs-mountpoint-s3
- aspenmayer 1y agoOne big difference I see is that rclone is MIT licensed, whereas ZeroFS is licensed under AGPL with commercial license also available? https://www.zerofs.net/licensing https://www.zerofs.net/licensing
