SeaweedFS is an open-source, distributed object storage system with an S3-compatible API, a filer for POSIX-style hierarchical access, and a small footprint. This guide deploys SeaweedFS using Docker Compose with the master, volume, filer, S3, and admin services behind Traefik for automatic HTTPS on separate admin and S3 domains. By the end, you'll have SeaweedFS serving S3-compatible object storage securely at your domains.
Prerequisite: Two DNS A records pointing at the server — storage.example.com (admin dashboard) and s3.storage.example.com (S3 API). AWS CLI installed on your local machine for testing.
