Open-Source Community Launches MinIO Fork (linuxiac.com)

After a long period of controversy that went against the principles of openness and left the open source community surprised, MinIO has effectively come to an end.

Its GitHub repository is now archived and read-only, which officially ends active open-source development of this widely used S3-compatible object storage server.

In the end, what many expected has happened. Community developers have created an independent fork to keep the open version of the software alive. It is available on GitHub under Pigsty’s account, which is an open-source platform for automated PostgreSQL deployment and operations.

Cool, I guess it'll be a project to watch whether they can continue the development and build a community.
