And you are cordially invited to our chatroom on Matrix, if you want to hack around Garage: https://matrix.to/#/#garage:deuxfleurs.fr We used to mostly talk French there - until yesterday!

This depends on your workload. It would work, but we first target fiber optics domestic connections.

Thanks for your enthusiastic feedback, fellow breton! It's an interesting take you make about ML workloads. We haven't investigated that yet (next in line is e-mail: you see we target ubiquitous, low-tech needs that are horrendous

It was actually deliberate to present our project through the political lens, today. You will find a more streamlined presentation of Garage on our landing page at https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/ Technical details are also

This article broadly explains the motivation and vision behind our project. There are many object stores, why build a new one? To push self-hosting, in face of democratic/political threats we feel are daunting. Sorry it didn't flo

It's the layer below: a sound distributed storage backend. You can use it to distribute your Nextcloud data, store your backups, host websites... You can even mount it in your OS' file manager and use it as an external drive!

We made a comparison here: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/benchmar... Other comments from my colleagues also shed light on Garage's specific features (do check the discussion on Raft). In

Basically, our association is trying to move away from file systems, for scalability and availability purposes. There's a similarity between RDBMS (say SQL) and filesystems, in the sense that they distribute like crap. Main reason bein

So basically, we are a hosting association that wanted to put their servers at home _and_ sleep at night. This demanded inter-home redundancy of our data. But none of the existing solutions (MinIO, Ceph...) are designed for high inter-node
