Considering switching the #MinIO backend of #mstdndk to #Garage by #deuxfleurs. 3 replicas on #Kubernetes. Anyone with real life experience and/or tips? :-)
@psyhackological@Tubsta I conducted some experimental tests. I set up Garage and SeaweedFS on the same machine - with rotating disks - the same one on which Minio runs. I then used rclone to copy files from Minio (which was in production) to Garage and SeaweedFS. I repeated the test several times.
With Garage, after a few GB, the process slows down, the CPU load increases (and by a lot), and the I/O wait becomes high. After about 80GB, I have to stop; the load becomes extremely high, and the latencies are monstrous.
With SeaweedFS, the load remains constant, and the performance is the same. The I/O wait remains minimal.
I've attached a graph of the machine's CPU load. On the left is when I performed the rclone to Garage. On the right, to SeaweedFS. Note that the bulk of the load in the second part is caused by Minio's reads.

I've switched the BSD Cafe Mastodon media over to SeaweedFS.
Posts from the last few hours might not show media, as I'm doing the final 'rclone' migration from MinIO and the ETA is around 3 hours.
Stay tuned 🙂

OK, Minio has decided to drop all the useful GUI features from the open-source (CE) version, making them exclusive to the paid version. More, they'll only provide "security fixes for severe issues" and no new features/development.
Personally, I prefer software that doesn't offer a certain feature at all, rather than one that, at some point, removes it and reserves it for "paying" customers.
It almost feels like a betrayal, in my eyes.
It's probably time to move the #BSDCafe media over to Garage or Seaweedfs.

Is It Still #OpenSource? #MinIO Steering Users Toward Paid Subscriptions
｢ And just when you’re scratching your head thinking, “Wait, what’s going on here?”, you stumble across a MinIO developer’s comment explaining that if you want the full-featured, user-friendly console back, well… you’ll just need to upgrade to the paid offering. Shortly after, the discussion thread gets locked. No more questions, no more comments ｣
