I use RustFS as an alternative to MinIO.

I’m also maintaining an open-source project and have spent significant time drafting our CLA, so I completely understand the concerns surrounding them. While DCO is excellent for tracking provenance, we opted for a CLA primarily to address

Fair point on the frequency of my comments, but there’s a nuance to the CLA discussion. Even with Apache 2.0, many major projects (like those under the CNCF or Apache Foundation) require a CLA to ensure the project has the legal right to di

Lol, maybe you should fund the RustFS team yourself or sponsor a top-tier legal team for them. If you can help them rewrite their CLAs and guarantee they'll never face any IP risks down the road, then sure, you're 100% right.

Simply forking it won't work. The legal risks have been well-documented. Under their AGPL + Commercial model, the moment your fork gets too popular, MinIO can just shut you down. This is exactly why the smart money and talent have alre

Okay, I'll correct my mistake,thx.

Actually, Linux reinforces my point. It isn't powered solely by volunteers; it thrives because the world's largest corporations (Intel, Google, Red Hat, etc.) foot the bill. The Linux Foundation is massively funded by corporate me

Haha, +1. I really like RustFS as a product, but the marketing fluff and documentation put me off too. It reads like non-native speakers relying heavily on AI, which explains a lot. Honestly, they really need to bring in some native English

Garage is indeed an excellent project, but I think it has a few drawbacks compared to the alternatives: Metadata Backend: It relies on SQLite. I have concerns about how well this scales or handles high concurrency with massive datasets. Adm

Huge thanks for your contributions to the open-source world! Milvus is an incredibly cool product and a staple in my daily stack. It’s been amazing to watch Milvus grow from its roots in China to gaining global trust and major VC backing. Y

I don't think this is a problem. The CLA is there to avoid future legal disputes. It prevents contributors from initiating IP lawsuits later on, which could cause significantly more trouble for the project.

Haha, totally get you! I think if you forced an LLM to manage a large-scale Ceph cluster, it would probably start hallucinating about retirement.

I respectfully disagree with the notion that open source is strictly a licensing model and not a business model. For an open-source project to achieve long-term reliability and growth, it must be backed by a sustainable commercial engine. H

S3 is evolving rapidly. While sticking with the old MinIO image might work for the immediate short term, I believe it is not a viable strategy for the long haul. New standards and features are emerging constantly—such as S3 over RDMA, S3 Ap

First off, I don't think there is anything wrong with MinIO closing down its open source. There are simply too many people globally who use open source without being willing to pay for it. I started testing various alternatives a few m

I believe that, at the end of the day, open source enthusiasts still need to make a living.

Without a valid CLA and a strong core team, you often end up with fragmentation or legal deadlock. Even the ASF isn't a silver bullet—projects without strong leadership die there all the time. The CLA exists to prevent that friction.

The Good: Single-node is stable, and the team moves fast—most of my reported bugs get patched within a couple of weeks. The Bad: Distributed mode needs work. Bucket replication and lifecycle policies are still WIP (as noted in their roadmap

Big thanks to MinIO, RustFS, and Garage for their contributions. That said, MinIO closing the door on open source so abruptly definitely spooked the community. But honestly, fair play to them—open source projects eventually need a path to m

Speaking as an open-source enthusiast, I’m actually really digging RustFS. Honestly, anything that can replace or compete with MinIO is a win for the users. Their marketing vibe feels pretty American, actually—they aren't afraid to be
