Bear in mind that actual features are NOT going away, it's just the web-based UI that has been removed with `mc` command staying intact.

I think the changelog is pretty clear on that, but I assume for many users this is not a "just" thing and matters a lot. Enshittification started before this change, but now it's really obvious where they are heading.

In my personal opinion, this is a perfectly fine change. The company has to make money. Nudging corporate users (who are incapable of running `mc`) towards purchase of license to have a web UI is a nice solution, I'm all for it.

Which software are folks using to run self-hosted / on-premises S3? I'm looking to replace MinIO in my homelab and would like to keep a S3 management UI.

It's great when building software and testing locally, e.g. in a docker setup.

why mc is needed at all? can't one just use aws s3 CLI with environment variable pointing to MinIO S3 backend endpoint?

Some that I've seen: SeaweedFS: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs (Apache 2.0) Garage: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage (AGPL) Zenko: https://github.com/scality/Zenko (Apache 2.0)

But which ones have a management UI?

None of those, if a quick search of "ui/gui/user experience" is of any indication.

Also looking for an alternative to MinIO since I also rely on the GUI for some things. But it feels like these things should probably be separate? Since they all expose a S3 compatible API interface, couldn't we have one GUI that can be used regardless of the backend?

To many of us, having a UI is an actual feature, in so much that if there are alternatives to MinIO that comes with a UI, I'd probably move to that.

It's an odd direction to take too.

I can see an individual or very small team using the web based GUI, but a large enterprise client would need automation that's done via the cli.

You can't create tenants with AWS s3 CLI
