alt Hacker NewsI've been working on https://github.com/uroni/hs5 as a replacement with similar goals to early minio.
The core is stable at this point, but the user/policy management and the web interface is still in the works.

I wish I knew about this last week. I spent way too long trying out MinIO alternatives before getting SeaweedFS to work, but it is overkill for my purposes.
Looks like a great alternative.
Interesting! I like the relative simplicity and durability guarantees. I can see using this for dev and proof of concept. Or in situations where HA/RAID are handled lower in the stack.
What is the performance like for reads, writes, and deletes?
And just to play devil's advocate: What would you say to someone who argues that you've essentially reimplemented a filesystem?
Good time to post a Show HN for your project then
Looks like you cleanly point out their violation of the AGPL. I wish I were a lawyer with nothing better to do, I'd definitely be suing the MinIO group, there's no way they can cleanly remove the AGPL code outsiders contributed.
