I there an official docker image? I am looking for something more light-weighted than MinIO. What are the requirements?

Have you checked garage - https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr ? Not affiliated nor trying to overshadow the posted project

There’s not an “official” image on Docker Hub yet, but the repo ships with a ready-to-use Dockerfile and a Compose cluster example. You can build with docker build . and spin up multi-node clusters trivially. Static Rust binaries make the image compact (typically ≤30MB zipped; nothing compared to MinIO :)), with no heavy runtimes. Requirements are dead simple: a recent Docker engine, any x86_64 (or ARM) host, and a few tens of MB RAM per instance at low load, scaling with data size/traffic.

I plan to push an official image (and perhaps an OCI image with scratch base) as the project matures — open to suggestions on ideal platforms/formats.
