What is SeaweedFS?
Your own S3-compatible object storage on a VPS.
SeaweedFS gives all your apps one place to store files: restic and rclone Backups, Mastodon or Nextcloud media, Laravel uploads and millions of small images. It is open-source distributed storage with an S3-compatible API, so anything that speaks S3 only needs your endpoint and an access key. SeaweedFS hosting at ZAP-Hosting deploys it on your own VPS with one click via Coolify: self-hosted S3 storage on a fixed VPS plan instead of per-GB cloud bills.
Full root access lets you decide how the storage runs: keep master, volume server and filer on the internal network, publish only the S3 endpoint over HTTPS, and add a second VPS later for replication. Coolify manages the Docker containers, so there is no docker-compose file to write. You can still SSH in, open weed shell, set replica placement or move cold volumes to another S3 target.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Seaweedfs
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Pick a VPS plan, open the One-Click Apps installer in your VPS dashboard and select SeaweedFS. Coolify pulls the Docker image and starts SeaweedFS with its filer and S3 gateway, so you don't need a docker-compose file. You keep full root and SSH access to the server. Learn more in the Help Center
- Order a VPS and open One-Click Apps
- Select SeaweedFS and deploy via Coolify
- Create a bucket and an access key
Yes. The one-click app installs the SeaweedFS community edition. It is open source under the Apache-2.0 license and has no license fee. You only pay for the VPS it runs on.
Yes. SeaweedFS includes an S3 gateway that works with rclone, restic, the AWS CLI and S3 SDKs. Create a bucket and an access key, then enter your endpoint, keys and bucket in the app that stores the data, such as Mastodon for media, Nextcloud as external storage or Laravel as a filesystem disk. If your client asks, use path-style addressing.
- rclone and restic for Backups
- AWS CLI and S3 SDKs for scripts
- Mastodon, Nextcloud and Laravel uploads
Size the plan by data volume and load: disk space holds your volumes, and RAM keeps master, filer and S3 gateway responsive. A smaller plan is a good start for Backups or a single app, and current specs are shown live in the plan selector. Locations are in Europe and America, so pick the one closest to your apps or users. Many North American teams start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles.
Yes. When your buckets grow, move to a larger VPS plan with more disk space and RAM. For extra capacity or redundancy, add another VPS as a volume server and set up replication. You can cancel anytime; the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term.
SeaweedFS is a popular self-hosted alternative to MinIO. It is Apache-2.0 licensed, offers an S3-compatible API and is built to handle very large numbers of small files efficiently. On top of S3, it adds a filer with WebDAV and FUSE mounts. Garage and RustFS are other options in the same space.
SeaweedFS expects master, volume servers and the raw filer API to sit on a trusted network. Use the firewall to allow only SSH and your S3 endpoint, and serve S3 over HTTPS with your own domain through Coolify. Keep the admin and filer UIs closed or behind a login. Give each app its own access key with only the bucket actions it needs. Firewall guide in the Help Center
Use two layers. VPS Backups capture the whole server, and SeaweedFS-level copies protect individual buckets, for example with rclone sync to a second S3 target or with filer.sync and replication to another VPS. Test a VPS restore with ZapX Pass from time to time. How VPS Backups work

Why are my rclone uploads to SeaweedFS slow?
Let's check three things: whether disk or RAM on your VPS is maxed out in the live stats, whether rclone uses enough parallel transfers, and whether uploads go directly to your HTTPS endpoint. I'll walk you through each check.
RAM is at 95 %.
Then the filer and S3 gateway are probably competing for memory. You can lower cache settings or move to a larger plan. I can explain both options before you change anything.
