JuiceFS requires a backing object store like s3/minio that it “flushes” to persist data. If you want to run it distributed it uses a few other services.

I’d use object storage if I wanted simple in the replicated, jbod disk management and access control senses of simple. If I had to use file storage I’d use boring old sftp or smb on top of zfs on a NAS
