So, basically, MinIO is dead. Time to move on, folks. Dead horse is dead. Kicking it will release toxic decomposition sludge.

I built my first Slackware box from source. How times changed.

  Sad to break it to you but it was 30 years ago. We have a tendency to stick to what we know but everything changes constantly and us being connected amplifies that.

    Boomers stuck behind the times, vendoring their dependencies and even looking at the code they compile. Get with the program already and just push another container!

    I imagine that this makes it much less viable for hobby use, or as a dependency for other open source projects, but setting up a private docker registry and building this image nightly isn’t onerous for any business

      The fact that these things are happening at all is enough for us to shop for alternatives. MinIO will be completely gone as soon as we identify the best option and get it rolled out, which should be rather quickly. If they were hoping to drive conversions to paying customers, they've done the opposite, at least with my employer.

        You can't put 3 lines in a Dockerfile but will be "shopping for alternatives", "identifying the best option" and "get it rolled out"? Do you ever get anything done, "rather quickly"?

        Their trend towards walking away from the community is a major red flag to me. If we're going to need to swap them out for an alternative at some point, better to get on it now than wait until we're forced to do so.

Fun, I had just started using it as a the data store for a distributed Rust compilation cache, guess we're moving that somewhere else. Hopefully the choice of NixOS as our server OS will make this easier rather than harder. What alternatives do people recommend that has at least similar features-set and at least similar performance as MinIO?

  Garage works, has good NixOS support too.

  I made a comment above about some, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45684035#45684826 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45684035#45684826 Ceph is what I think but there are lot of alternatives.

? Just build it yourself?

Anyone tried rustfs? https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs

It's still free and available, you just need to run the docker build command yourself or pay them to get their enterprise version.

  Well, you can build some parts of it, but the builds aren't the only thing they're removing. Reading some of the Github issues, eg. https://github.com/minio/object-browser/issues/3546 https://github.com/minio/object-browser/issues/3546: > We initially explored a basic admin UI for the community branch but haven't actively maintained it. Building and supporting separate graphical consoles for the community and commercial branches is substantial. Honestly, it is hard to duplicate this work for the community branch. A whole team is involved in console development, including design, UX, front-end, back-end, and pen testing. This commit introduces an enhanced object browser but removes the unmaintained admin UI code. They deleted the admin UI from the current version of the open-source side. It's time to pay the VCs, the project is being rug-pulled and they're going all in on the enterprise version.
