Minio UI now only object browser. DO NOT UPDATE

Minio has stripped the UI and want a license of 98k to get it back. Suggest not updating minio any more.

Yup, I am waiting to see what happens, I hope they will either see the error of their way. I know people will / have forked it but moving to a fork right away can be concerning if the fork ends up not well supported.

Yeah I was able to roll it back in truenas. Garage appears to be a popular alternative. https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

It’s storage is not the same but will work with rclone etc. No app for it so would have to add to truenas as a custom app.

Will wait and see what happens. I doubt this one will roll back any time soon.

Truenas just added SeaweedFS | TrueNAS Apps Market due to the changes with minio.

Reference https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/s/S4GwwHTvep

VersityGW is also in the repository: Versity Gateway | TrueNAS Apps Market

It looks like it also supports ACLs too (which garage doesn’t), see S3 Compatibility status | Garage HQ

I might just set up ceph and use RadosGW, maybe overkill for S3 (backup) support, OpenIO might also be an option GitHub - open-io/oio-sds: High Performance Software-Defined Object Storage for Big Data and AI, that supports Amazon S3 and Openstack Swift.

If you move to another solution there are tools like s3cmd Amazon S3 Tools: Command Line S3 Client and S3 Backup for Windows, Linux: s3cmd, s3express that you can use to sync a minio server to another S3 compatible server.

I’ve been using rclone for a while now and have found it very very stable over other tools.

A fork exists though it is still early days: GitHub - OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser: Forked UI for MinIO Object Storage

A very Redis feeling but worse in some ways.

Yeah just followed the fork. Seems they had to revert to commit because they removed apis too. We will see.

If that is the case they took the apis out which if you remove the UI makes sense to remove the endpoints might be stuffed.

Openio seems to have no activity for three years

It looks fairly active to me: Commit Activity · open-io/oio-sds · GitHub

Why do you think there has been no activity for 3 years?

On changes I am seeing are by a bot. No prs since 2022. Last release was 2022.

Am I missing something?

This was released 18.10.24 Release 9.0.0 · open-io/oio-sds · GitHub
It all seems quite chaotic and the official site is not reachable either, maybe it is dead, or at least just on life support.

Looking at Commits · open-io/oio-sds · GitHub , it seems active but also chaotic when looking from the outside.

Looking at a couple forks they removed the endpoints that went with the UI. So I think any UI attempt is going to need to do effectively exec calls to MC command to actually do anything.

Which means needing direct access to where minio runs. It’s going to be messy. Just going to stay put on previous version for now.
