S3Proxy offers similar multi-protocol access at the S3 API layer:

It has compatibility with local filesystem, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, and OpenStack Swift. Note that this is software and not a service.

It appears that Cloudrail not a service either, just a commercially licensed library (like Qt for example). In fact, I find their simple library approach a bit less awkward than your local server approach, though I suppose that was necessary in order to make a neat drop-in replacement for code that's already targeting S3.

is this compatible with django-storages (which supports S3)

S3Proxy uses Apache jclouds underneath which has broad compatibility with object stores including S3 clones. However no two S3 implementations are alike so you will need to test.
