@stefano thanks for your post! I've considered switching from Minio to SeaweedFS as well, but haven't really made a decision, yet. SeaweedFS seems to be very simple to set up. 💪
@thomas I did it and it's been easier than expected. Now, SeaweedFS is my first choice for Mastodon Media hosting

@stefano interesting. do you have any idea how it compares to https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage ?

@linus I tested it. After more or less 60 GB, it started to be extremely slow and fill up all the CPUs. I decided to stop. I've been contacted by one of the devs and they suggested me to try a newer release. And I'll definitely do it as I love the concept.

@stefano
For what scale do you think it is reasonable to break out media to its own service? I only have experience of up to a couple of hundred users with plain filesystem storage. -

But I'm a fan of keeping things separate (valkey on one jail, postgres on another, etc.)

@stefano Ah, I am not fond of running a lot of different services if I can get away without, from a maintenance burden point of view.

@maswan for me, it's the exact opposite: having all the services inside a single jail means that one dependency could break other stuff - while keeping them separate means I can upgrade, for example, valkey without having to upgrade, for example, ruby
