Is it possible to store file in some kind of NFS volume?

Is it possible to store objects in something similar to S3 (for example using Minio)?

NFS support is not currently implemented, but we have a clear plan and it is on our upcoming roadmap: https://github.com/flynn/flynn/issues/1521

Flynn has a built-in blobstore for storing files and supports multiple storage backends: PostgreSQL Large Objects (default), Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage and Azure Storage (to be released into stable next week), see https://flynn.io/docs/production#blobstore-backend.

The documentation about the blobstore says PostgreSQL should be used only for small deployments. What if you deploy Flynn to DigitalOcean, which has no S3-equivalent?

You can use S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Storage even if you're running on DigitalOcean.

Yes, but at the cost of increased latency, and paying the bandwidth?

There's also expandable block storage (https://www.digitalocean.com/products/storage/), though I'm not sure if it fits these circumstances.
