Open Source Cloud Storage Software
Cloud Storage software provides a centralized system for managing object, block, and file storage on private infrastructure. These tools enable the organization of large datasets, machine learning workloads, and vast quantities of individual files across distributed clusters. This type of software is for developers and organizations that need S3 compatible interfaces without relying on external corporate providers. Self-hosting these apps allows you to manage encryption keys and hardware allocation directly to ensure that sensitive files and private archives remain on your own physical servers.
This page lists 11 open source tools in the Cloud Storage category. The most popular are MinIO, Puter and SeaweedFS. Most use the AGPL-3.0 or Apache-2.0 license, and 9 offer an official Docker image.
