Hope you don't have expectations (over the long run) for high availability. At some point that server will come down (planned or unplanned).

For sure, there is zero expectations for any kind of hardware downtime tolerance, it's a secondary backup storage cobbled together from leftovers over many years :)
For software, at least with MinIO it's possible to do rolling updates/restarts since the 5 instances in docker-compose are enough for proper write quorum even with any single instance down.
