I'd be curious, they use Minio which puts S3 first. Does it mean Docs (the official instance) is relying on AWS?

If so IMHO that's not a great default EU sovereignty.

    I would assume (without having looked at the codebase) that if they use minio they are, by default, not reliant on AWS.

    Minio is its own S3 implementation which can be self-hosted.

    S3, being an AWS protocol originally has AWS environment variables all over the place but that does not necessarily mean a reliance on the service. Rather, they rely on the protocol and you bring your own S3 endpoint I would assume. be that minio, hetzner or what have you.

    I thought that MinIO is a Open-Source S3 implementation, which you can just install on your own system. S3 is a "protocol" here IIUC.

    Is your complaint that they are using the S3 protocol, because it was invented and is controlled by AWS?

    Or that some services might use it without MinIO, directly on AWS?
