So much controversy with this one, but it's time to face it. I have 1TB storage and unused bandwidth sitting on my reverse proxy VPS and I wish to use it as my S3-compatible storage server, primarily for backups from my k8s cluster (cnpg, etc.)
My only experience with MinIO was using it as a local dev instance to build for AWS S3, and I contributed to it on company time. Now I actually need it, but I'm so unsure of what's going on with the project.
Since I really don't have the reinstall luxury/time, I need to hear from folks who use it, and others keeping up with the developments.
Since features are being stripped off, are we turning to a fork? Which? Is it wise to stick with MinIO and a separate UI for it (which would have all the stripped off features intact)? Will they find a way to break the 3rd party UI in the coming months? Really, what's up with this?
