But what's the point to use these DIY object storage systems, when they do not provide durability and other important guarantees provided by S3 and GCS?
When you want just the API for compatibility, I guess?
Self-hosted S3 clones with actual durability guarantees exist, but the only properly engineered open source choices are Ceph + radosgw (single-region, though) or Garage (global replication based on last-writer-wins CRDS conflict resolution).
It works fine for me, and has been for at least 2 years, between any subset of 2 laptops (KDE, WiFi), one desktop (KDE, LAN), and two Androids (WiFi). They're all on the same subnet though.
I've been running my self-hosting stuff on Netcup for 5+ years and I don't remember any outages. There probably were some, but they were not significant enough for me to remember.
