We migrated our media storage from Cloudflare R2 to self-hosted MinIO S3 Storage

We have great news! As of today, RevoTale runs entirely on a self-hosted infrastructure. The final step was migrating from Cloudflare R2 Object Storage to a self-hosted alternative — and we’re happy to announce that our media storage is now powered by an S3-compatible MinIO server.

It wasn’t easy. Due to the limitations of Cloudflare’s free plan, we had to move away from their entire infrastructure and even switch to a different domain registrar. The final straw was Cloudflare charging $10 for custom SSL just to support fourth-level domains. Of course, in addition to this, there were other unpleasant things we encountered related to Cloudflare’s monopolistic tendencies.

So yes—starting today, every inch of our infrastructure is built entirely with open-source tools, and our stability is our responsibility.
