I remember when minio just started and it was small and easy to run. Nowadays, it's a full-blown enterprise product, though, full of features you’ll never care about in a homelab eating on your cpu and ram.
Garage is small and easy to run. I’ve been toying with it for several months and I’m more than happy with its simple API and tiny footprint. I even run my (static html) blog off it because it's just easier to deploy it to a S3-compatible API.
S3 storage is simpler than local files? I think you need to elaborate
S3 storage is simpler than running scp -r to a remote node, because you can copy files to S3 in a massively parallel way and scp is generally sequential. It's very easy to protect the API too, as it's just HTTP (and at it, it's also significantly faster than WebDAV).
Nobody should be using SCP, use rsync.
