Ah yes, MinIO, that open source S3 alternative that got archived last week.
To me that's the biggest problem when self-hosting services.
On day to day operations, some times it just breaks and the time to get it back varies from a couple of hours to a couple of days.
And for the longer term you regularly have to upgrade things yourself which takes time and energy and is stressing for stateful deployment.
And then you have it, at some point maintainers are just exhausted and the project is gone.
- apexalpha 8mo agoYou can still selfhost MinIO you just have to pay. You also pay for software when renting a cloud service so this seems similar.
- tecleandor 8mo agoBut, as far as I can see in their site, the price for MinIO AIStor isn't even public, you have to "Request Pricing". And that's never a good sign.
- apexalpha 8mo agoWell MinIO has some weird quirks but I wanted to point out that "open source and free" and "self hosting" are not the same. MinIO took away the source, not the self hosting.
- tecleandor 8mo agoBut the free self hosting is only for single node, isn't it? Not fit for high availability. And the process for the rest aren't public.
- tecleandor 8mo agoWith "process" I meant "pricing".
- amluto 8mo agoI’ve been contemplating a versitygw deployment. Unlike the other host-your-own-S3 options, it doesn’t own your data - the data is just files.
