To migrate from MinIO to RustFS 1.0 with Docker, run RustFS next to MinIO, import the users with mc admin cluster iam, copy the buckets with rclone sync --metadata and compare them with rclone check --download. In my test 4,012 objects arrived identical; versions, tags and public access had to be redone by hand.
MinIO images no longer pull from Docker Hub, and the quay.io copy is frozen in 2025. To migrate from MinIO to Garage with Docker, run Garage v2.4.1 next to MinIO, copy the buckets with rclone sync, verify them with rclone check, and switch endpoint, keys and region in your clients.
restic is the encrypted, deduplicated, incremental backup tool I run in production on several servers. A practical guide to installing it on Debian, setting up an S3-compatible repository, automating daily backups with systemd, and verifying that restore actually works before you need it.
JuiceFS is a distributed, POSIX-compliant file system that separates data, stored in an S3-compatible object store, from metadata, stored in a database such as PostgreSQL or Redis. This guide installs JuiceFS on a three-node Linux cluster to share files without relying on NFS.
Litestream is an open-source tool that replicates a SQLite database to an S3 bucket in near real time by reading the WAL SQLite already writes. It offers point-in-time recovery, overhead of only 1 to 3% CPU, and replaces the need for a separate database server in small apps.
