Ah yes, MinIO, that open source S3 alternative that got archived last week. To me that's the biggest problem when self-hosting services. On day to day operations, some times it just breaks and the time to get it back varies from a couple of hours to a couple of days. And for the longer term you regularly have to upgrade things yourself which takes time and energy and is stressing for stateful deployment. And then you have it, at some point maintainers are just exhausted and the project is gone.

I’ve been contemplating a versitygw deployment. Unlike the other host-your-own-S3 options, it doesn’t own your data - the data is just files.

You can still selfhost MinIO you just have to pay. You also pay for software when renting a cloud service so this seems similar.
