Migrating from MinIO to Garage on a Raspberry Pi 5

I recently migrated my self-hosted S3-compatible storage from MinIO to Garage.

While MinIO is the industry leader for enterprise object storage, I needed something lighter for my homelab to serve Paperless-ngx (thousands of small files) and Audiobookshelf (large media files). My choice fell on Garage (v1.0+), an open-source distributed object store tailored for self-hosting.

When I read about paperless-ngx, I was immediately drawn to the idea of having all my documents indexed (via OCR) and centrally stored. With a proper tagging system, exporting my documents for my annual tax declaration should only take seconds.
