Run minio on the docstore server in read-only mode to support S3 access to files? #25

See https://github.com/minio/minio - the opportunity is to allow people to download files directly from a2docs without going through the web interface by using at Minio server. Minio provides an Amazon S3 compatible interface layer.

Urgency: low. Interestingness: high.

Generic S3 support would be nice for file storage regardless so it is easy to move the server itself around while keeping files available via s3, cdn or 3rd party compatible service. Would also make it more usable for larger document installs.

Reviewing old issues, I can still make the argument that S3 support would be good and useful. Unclear how to proceed though.

I took a first cut at implementing S3 for document storage on https://github.com/steiza/docstore/pull/30 - @eby let me know if there's other things you need (like the ability to pass in AWS access keys, or a script to help migrate off disk and into S3).

Otherwise, if it works for you, I'll merge it!
