The backend no longer mentions MinIO anywhere: MinioClient -> GarageClient (minio_client.py -> garage_client.py), MINIO_* env vars -> GARAGE_*, and the `minio` Python package is replaced with `boto3` (AWS's generic S3 client) since Garage is the only storage backend this project targets now. S3 API semantics are unchanged, so document_service.py's behavior is identical — this is a naming and dependency swap, not a logic change. Also updates test fixtures/names (FakeMinioClient -> FakeGarageClient, FakeMinioSDK -> FakeS3SDK) and storage/README.md, which no longer frames Garage as a MinIO replacement (that migration note has served its purpose now that no MinIO reference remains in the codebase). Backend: 54/54 tests passing. Frontend: 38/38 tests passing (unaffected, verified for regressions since it talks to the backend only through the unchanged REST API).

DocHub Storage (Garage)
S3-compatible object storage for DocHub, deployed independently from the
app stack in docker-compose.yml at the repo root, using
Garage — a fully open source (AGPL)
object store purpose-built for self-hosting. backend/app/garage_client.py
talks to it over the standard S3 API via boto3.
Single-node setup, matching this project's learning/small-team scope
(replication_factor = 1 in garage.toml — no data redundancy across
nodes, since there's only one node).
First-time setup
cd storage
docker compose up -d
./init-garage.sh
docker compose exec garage /garage key info dochub-backend
The last command prints an access key ID and secret key. Set those as
GARAGE_ACCESS_KEY / GARAGE_SECRET_KEY for the DocHub backend.
Connecting the backend
From the repo root, when running docker compose up there:
GARAGE_ENDPOINT=<this-server-ip>:3900 \
GARAGE_ACCESS_KEY=<from init-garage.sh> \
GARAGE_SECRET_KEY=<from init-garage.sh> \
docker compose up -d
Garage's S3 API listens on port 3900.
