Garage seems like a viable alternative.
Garage has been great in my homelab. It's not quite as 1:1 with S3 but it does all the basics with some really nice features.
+1 to Garage being great! I used it for a personal project and it worked really well. A lot of S3 data browsing clients also support it natively or just through API compatibility too
Where they lose comparability they have a good explanation too
Garage has one big flaw. Access control tools are nearly non existent.
