OK, Minio has decided to drop all the useful GUI features from the open-source (CE) version, making them exclusive to the paid version. More, they'll only provide "security fixes for severe issues" and no new features/development.

Personally, I prefer software that doesn't offer a certain feature at all, rather than one that, at some point, removes it and reserves it for "paying" customers.
It almost feels like a betrayal, in my eyes.

It's probably time to move the media over to Garage or Seaweedfs.

@thomas I've already performed some tests with both of them, some months ago. No problems so far, but didn't switch as Minio was working fine. The problem now is that Minio will just "maintain and provide fixes for severe security problems" that, in my eyes, means: we're considering to abandon the CE version.
It'll probably be garage - at least for now 🙂
