MinIO stops distributing free Docker images

Sad to break it to you but it was 30 years ago. We have a tendency to stick to what we know but everything changes constantly and us being connected amplifies that.
Boomers stuck behind the times, vendoring their dependencies and even looking at the code they compile. Get with the program already and just push another container!
Strong "Just give me the exe, why is this published as code" vibe :)

Why is DHH being mentioned?
Nothing to do with MinIO and their docker builds...
Re: MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
#474So, basically, MinIO is dead. Time to move on, folks. Dead horse is dead. Kicking it will release toxic decomposition sludge.
? Just build it yourself?

https://www.min.io/download?platform=docker https://docs.min.io/enterprise/aistor-object-store/installat... podman pull quay.io/minio/aistor/minio:latest podman run minio/aistor/minio --version So I suppose those are official binaries which require license to use.
I mean, what's the difference in pricing between AGPL and a commercial license? €50k/year? €100k/year? Do you think Docker binaries are something that could hypothetically drive conversion from AGPL users to commercial licenses?
There's definitely an air of desperation here. It's not going to work but they have to try it anyway.
Re: MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
#476Since the whole docker thing where people were complaining about having to pay 10USD, I am happy when OSS projects pull the rug, tech bros you're paid to solve your company's issues, nobody in OSS owes you anything, go earn your salary and build the docker image that fix the CVE, or stfu We all know you don't care about loyalty correctness or anything, you just someone to do the work you're paid for
Spot on. The number of people who are seemingly completely lost without a free DockerHub build is terrifying. Maybe it explains why software quality has degraded so much over the last several years.

...published as code in a printed magazine.

#478I'll let docker's security team know that an insecure, obsolete docker image is being served and the maintainers have officially acknowledged they will no longer support it. Best to get insecure and vulnerable software out of the hands of those who may not be familiar with this CVE or their change in policy that has not gotten a press release in any way.
> Best to get insecure and vulnerable software out of the hands of those who may not be familiar with this CVE or their change in policy that has not gotten a press release in any way. Why is that the best? MinIO is not the type of thing that people ought to be directly making available on the Internet anyway, so CVEs are mostly irrelevant unless you are an organization that has to keep on top of them, in which case…
Zero trust is the way to assess threat. Not Internet access or not.

So that's not the same thing. Docker "official images" are a category of curated docker images. Minio is not one of them. The official curated images are here: https://hub.docker.com/u/library The minio image is basically a community one that anyone could have created, but still shows in overall docker hub. It's created by minio themselves. I'm kind of surprised they haven't removed it, but with over a billion downlo…
Did you read the discussion? The docker steward is proposing making a docker "official" minio image to replace the minio/minio image.
Yes, I read it. Last time it was raised the same guy who announced they are doing source only distribution said they could definitely do it, then another member of the team closed it saying it wouldn't happen.
Given the developers have not replied to the thread after a day and the one who was enthusiastic is now the one doling out the information that they are no longer supporting their docker image, I highly doubt they will perform a 180 on policy and suddenly work with them to provide an official curated image. If they wanted to keep the docker image alive they would have continued updating it and not shut down community feedback begging for them to maintain it.
Docker has a vested interest in keeping popular images maintained and a billion+ download package suddenly becoming defunct is noticable to them. Minio seems to be prioritizing their commercial offering and removing support for their open source offering though. Nuking their community documentation doesn't spell anything good for the future of minio for the FOSS community.

...Or just spend 10 minutes and familiarise yourself with the basic docker build command? Its really dead simple.
