Doc improvement: using custom CA with docker installation. about backrest HOT 4 OPEN

Interesting issue -- I think this is something that could make a lot of sense for the cookbooks section of the docs https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest/tree/main/docs/content/3.cookbooks if you're interested in elaborating on / sharing your setup w/ self hosted S3 (I'm assuming minio or similar) and custom certificates. It'd be a great pull request.

Hi,
atm I've my hands full at work... but as soon as I'll have some spare time I think it could be possible (if I finally decide to learn how to properly use GitHub... ;-) ).

Just FYI:

• About custom certificates, I use a Custom CA, with an intermediate CA given to a Step-CA instance (https://smallstep.com/docs/step-ca/) that generates and distributes TLS certificates to all local applications (this is for security, but also to avoid modern browser's complaints... :-D )
• Concerning local self hosted S3, I'm currently testing Garage (https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr). I've been trying also minio, which is fantastic, but also quite resource intensive... So far Garage seems to be very promising and stable. There is no web interface yet, and running a cluster in different Docker machines requires some knowledge of Docker and bash... positive aspects are that it's very light, but still performant, written in Go (so usable on any device from an Enterprise server to an old Raspberry), and supports HA clusters distributed in different subnets/locations with different architectures...

Interesting re: garage, I'll take a look at it. I've been using minio in my deployment with good success -- but haven't looked much at the resources it's using.

About resources see attachments…

it’s just testing env, with a couple of buckets and less than 100MB of storage, but also on 2 additional nodes.
