Setting up MinIO service

I set up a docker-orchestrated MinIO service locally. Given there is no service template available for MinIO, what do you think is needed to set it up on Railway starting from a blank service?

MinIO stores files uploaded to the buckets on disk, railway doesn't have persistent storage and also doesn't have storage volumes, so at the moment setting up minio on railway is not possible any reason you dont wanna use other s3 compatible api's like cloudflare r2, or backblaze b2

My impression is those managed services would cost more than having a MinIO instance.

last i checked both those services say the first 10gb is free, and after that they are both cheaper than aws s3

uhm I only tried S3, actually, and I felt I didn't have much control on costs

Try cloudflare R2, you may survive with the free plan.
