Self-hosted dropbox file storage syncing and backup with Minio and Clients

I’ve been looking at recreating folder syncing and backup options.

Minio is a great cloud storage options for block storage. It is not the storage itself it does one thing well – act as an interface to your files which is similar to the amazon S3 file storage API.
I wanted to make use of it for storing my backups and syncing my files.

Options I looked at for the client:

• syncthings
• librevault
• rclone
• mountainduck
• duplicati or github duplicati
• Librevault

Chosen backup Solution

I chose Duplicati 2 (Beta) and configured the backup using the below settings
