I’m just realizing right now that I’m still relying on a piece of #minio tech, namely minio-client (also known as mc or mcli).
As of now, I didn’t find a credible alternative, particularly something suited specifically at #garage.
Might be the right time to write something in #rust to help myself and maybe others.

If you're still relying on #MinIO, you're certainly aware that after their #OpenSource bait-and-switch, it is now a growing liability and technical debt in your infra.
#Ceph (a rock solid choice!) seems daunting & complex for your use case?
Check out #garage! #S3 storage written in #Rust, all relevant features & sponsored by several funds.
It's what I run in my own labs.

Time to migrate from #Minio and their rug-pullers:
https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21647
https://github.com/minio/object-browser/issues/3546
What alternatives are? Several, better:
- SeaweedFS
https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs
- Versity S3
https://github.com/versity/versitygw
- Garage

Catching up on that whole #MinIO fiasco https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21647. Unfortunately is MinIO community version not only a "source-only" distribution now, they also decided to not add any more features to it. Fork incoming, I guess... ? I have just manually patched my instance and will look for an alternative. "Garage" might be worth a look https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr

After the newest fuckery from #MinIO, I tried #SeaweedFS and Garage, and then decided to just go with #Backblaze for my server backups, with local replication to my Synology NAS.
Sometimes, #selfhosting is the tedious, nerve-wrecking answer to a question, whose real solution is paying $0.5 a month. 🫠

#MinIO is a popular S3 compatible object store. It is a necessary component in many self hosted applications. the docker image has over a billion downloads
in July MinIO removed the admin interface from the community edition, forcing users to the CLI or paid upgrades
https://cloudian.com/blog/minios-ui-removal-leaves-organizations-searching-for-alternatives/
5 days ago MinIO released a security update to fix a high severity 8.1/10 CVE
https://github.com/minio/minio/security/advisories/GHSA-jjjj-jwhf-8rgr
4 days ago a user asked about the missing docker image update
https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21647
a MinIO dev replied
> "This project is a source only distribution now, if you want to build containers you need to build them yourselves"
this is user hostile behaviour. i wish them the same fate as Redis
Considering switching the #MinIO backend of #mstdndk to #Garage by #deuxfleurs. 3 replicas on #Kubernetes. Anyone with real life experience and/or tips? :-)
