  • I’ve used minio briefly, and I’ve never used any other self hosted object storage. In the context of spinning it up with docker, it’s pretty easy. The difficult part in my project was that I wanted some buckets predefined. The docker image doesn’t provide this functionality directly, so I had to spin up an adjacent container with the minio cli that would create the buckets automatically every time I spun up minio.

    But for your use case you would manage bucket creation manually, from the UI. It seems straight forward enough, and I don’t have complaints. I think it would work for your use case, but I can’t say its any worse or better than alternatives.









  • My drive to nix was so I could simply manage what packages I had installed with a text file. If I removed something from the file, I expect it to be uninstalled. I never found a tool/wrapper for apt to do this.

    If you want to start with nixos, I would take whatever distro you are on and install nix and then home manager. Then, you can slowly migrate your user configuration over without starting from scratch. That worked really well for me going from ubuntu to nixos.
