Store data directly on own servers

Why

We currently support saving to the filesystem, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Platform. We should also give you a way to save data to your own servers which doesn't involve setting up filesystem mounts.

How

A few options:

  • Save directly to some sort file storage API (which one(s)? SFTP?)
  • Implement our own API server

Hi,

I just saw your post on HN and immediatly thought about spinning up a Minio instance. Its API is theoretically identical to Amazon S3, did you try it ? If it works it may be a good information to cite it on your website. It would enforce your choice of open source. Amazon and Google storage are probably great but having an option mentioned on your page to really own the data is great too. Just my 2 cents about that issue.

I read some pages and really like the simplicity of your tool and that it's open source and data can be stored on our own disks :)

Congratulation for the launch !

@jbjuin This is a great idea -- thank you. If anyone wants to try Replicate with Minio, I'd be very curious if it works. Maybe we need to support some envvars to configure the URL, or something.

+1 for SFTP as an option, it's common for it to be an option within an organisation (including ours!)
