I see, if this is private network then this is a nice simple solution for caching. We plan to implement S3-caching in minio [https://minio.io] (i.e it will authenticate the requests and also do caching) in case you'd be interested for public facing caching proxies.

If the client sends incorrect Authorization you will still serve from the cache. This is insecure.

Minio will always be 100% free software / open source. We have no plans to add any proprietary extensions or hold back on features for paying customers only. -- Minio Team

Absolutely, our focus currently is on multi-server minio which is being actively developed on the "distributed" branch https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/distributed

Our current stable version can export single disk or multiple disks (using erasure coding providing protection against disk failures) As it is very easy to get started with (single binary, thanks to Go) people find it attractive for dev/test environments.

To replicate for HA (even for the single server version), use "mc mirror -watch SOURCE TARGET" command to pair them up. If you have multiple drives (JBOD), you can eliminate RAID or ZFS and use Minio's erasure code to pool them up. Distributed version is also in dev/testing at the moment. It should be out in a month.

We are working on distributed minio (resilient to server failures) on the "distributed" branch here https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/distributed

Currently available minio is resilient to disk failures using erasure coding (similar to RAID)

Uses cases like these are a really good fit for Minio. i.e videos/photos ... actually any blob/file.

The minio available today for production use can export single disk or aggregate multiple disks on the same machine using erasure coding.

For this, if you want backup you can use github.com/minio/mc tool to mirror, more help here https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-client-complete-guide#mirro...

Minio is by ex-GlusterFS developers!

Minio is object-storage server. You can use https://github.com/restic/restic to encrypt and mirror to remote minio server. For more help https://docs.minio.io/docs/restic-with-minio

https://github.com/minio/minio-go is a nice S3 Client library in Go

Check out https://nutty.io if you find gotty interesting you'll find nutty interesting too.

Reminds me of this prank: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhMASNNjl0s

My auto correction was probably triggered by the adjective "evil" and yours probably by the verb :-)

I read "patents" as "parents"

yeah ... I think we can expect all kinds of people here :-) You can just install nutty and check it out.

If you think making it R/O by default makes sense ... let me think about it. I need to fix "Why the need to sign-in to make it read-only"

I removed the "Live demo" as it was making my server slow.

It will be useful for any situation where you want to quickly share your terminal. Have you used tmux/screen tools? Nutty will be useful in similar situations where tmux/screen is used but nutty works even if the peer is behind firewall. Plus you can use webrtc when sharing terminals using nutty as it runs in the browser.

Yes, I re-did the whole thing and giving it another shot.

haha :-) upvoting this.

I had done "rm" of a big log file to free up space on the customer's server but our process kept on filling the log file. I assumed that the disk has got enough free space and I got busy with something else. The space was never freed up as the file descriptor was kept open by the process. Ultimately the entire disk got filled up by the opened log file and their server came to a grinding halt. I think the customer stopped using our product after that because we never heard from them again.

learning from this experience: never do an "rm" on the log file, instead do "truncate -s 0" on the log file.
