Minio is an on-premises object storage server that can be deployed as a Minio cluster (with local storage) or as a gateway to other object storage services with their own API such as Backblaze B2, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage. Because Minio exposes a S3 compatible endpoint, virtually any application that supports the AWS SDK can be integrated with it. According to Minio, half of the Fortune 500 have deployed Minio for storage, including for cloud-native workloads such as Kubernetes.

Disk Encryption At-Rest with LUKS
Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) is a specification for disk encryption across Linux distributions. It relies on dm-crypt, a kernel module that uses the passphrase selected by the user to encrypt and decrypt data on-the-fly on a LUKS volume, and make the filesystem mountable from a virtual device-mapper block device. The cryptsetup utility is used to create and manage LUKS volumes.
