We [0] use MinIO with for our clients so we've just thrown together a nightly build process. Use/fork as you wish: https://github.com/golithus/minio-builds Example use: docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 ghcr.io/golithus/minio:latest [0]: https://lithus.eu
No need to get mad or upset about this at all, MinIO is telling us exactly who they are: They want to be a commercial software vendor, and they don't like open source. As long as they aren't advertising their product as open source, I don't see an issue.

How to not pay full price on AWS? We pay $10K+ per month and nobody gives us any discount.
To be fair, for aws that is hobbyist numbers. We (400 people data company) pay 10 times that amount. Let alone big enterprises. We do get discount, but it wont make it cheap.

> I wonder if they will be "valkeyed"? Not by AWS presumably Almost certainly not, due to the AGPL license. I know Nutanix got into hot water about distributing Minio so I don't think any big shop will fork it.
Nuantrix distributed a version that was still Apache licensed and merely failed to disclose they had made changes. This is after MinIO asserted that Weka had also stolen their AGPL-licensed code, showing that they extracted binaries from the distribution. They forgot that that 3-month old (unmodified) version was still Apache licensed though. MinIO generally don't seem to consult lawyers often. They haven't even set…

>The price of support comes in at at slightly less than the equivalent amount of S3 storage That's absurd. I would be running to NetApp and Dell for competitive object storage quotes then. Haven't done pricing on either one recently but at least a few years ago they were roughly half the price of S3 all in (including hosting costs).
> half the price of S3 No one other than hobbyists is paying full price on AWS.

it used to be that people started businesses so that they could help others by providing a product or a service to them. late stage capitalism arrives when people create businesses solely to get rich, and when other companies are created solely to get rich by helping those people create their companies so that they can get rich. that's what ycombinator is. most of capitalism used to be symbiotic. engaging in transact…
If they were giving it away for free and paying a non-zero cost to do it, that's not sustainable. And that clearly isn't taking all the benefit for themselves. This is a take so bad, it isn't a take anymore...its a personality flaw.
The thing being argued against is businesses solely being viewed as a "get rich quick" gambling scheme, where the only thing that matters is a rapid rise in shareholder value. VCs don't want a company providing a steady retirement fund, they want you to go for a 1000x return or die trying. The logical end result is that you screw over your customers and employees whenever possible, and burn the entire thing to the ground for the last few bucks. Just look at what Broadcom is doing to VMware: they might've delivered some great shareholder value, but they did huge damage to society in the process!
We shouldn't allow businesses to operate like a cancer which grows forever until it eventually kills its host, leeching off as much in the process as possible. If you want sustainability, you should be clamoring for businesses which are happy to just operate: employ some people, provide a valuable service to society, and make some profit - no need to take over the world in a crazy frenzy chasing unlimited growth.
It's an Open Source project - I don't understand what people are complaining about. Noone is entitled to receive free Docker images. I'm sure if there is enough demand, someone else who is trustworthy will step up and automate building them. What I'd like to complain about instead is the pricing page on the Min.io webpage - it doesn't list any pricing. Looking at https://cloudian.com/blog/minios-ui-removal-leaves-org…
It's absolutely stunning that people actually defend this behaviour! The community is having an outrage - and rightfully so - about a silently discontinued artifact delivery at a very critical time. Which is their opinion and every human being is entitled to have their own opinion and state it openly. It is also perfectly fine to expect a standardised behaviour to continue. However, what is most important is that is…
I don't understand the point. The entire raison d'être of this project is that you self-host it and don't pay money for S3 and control your supply chain. If you are denied this possibility — it is much easier just to use S3.
