Yes, I fully agree with you.
Sadly some personal things came up which mean I am not as fast as I want to be to get to the place where I want this project to be.
But my goal is simple: I have always a big fan and user of MinIO. I liked it, I think a high performing S3 alternative I can host on my hardware is something very valuable.
And it being open source was a hugely important thing for me, too.
However, I disagree with the rug-pulling. This is not how you treat your users who often bring you into the discussion for commercial projects. In fact, before this started, I was wearing MinIO T-Shirts I got at a conference a while back, proudly I might add.
But it seems they misunderstood the entire notion of leveraging a community for a dual licensed project, so my goal is to create something that is as close to feature parity as possible and fully open with the ultimate goal to move this into some sort of foundation or similar so it isn’t depending on a single person or company.
While I am still figuring some stuff out, every pull request to add removed features or fix bugs is very welcome. I will try my best to get back on top of issues reported here in the next few hours.
I think I should open a road map discussion here, too, so we have some more structure around what is needed and what the community currently needs.

Here's some more discussions on this.

Gotta love the
"mc is already available and provides a neat way to automate it, so use that.
UI is luxury, and you want luxury for free then you are as naive as they come by."
by the Maintainer.
Features that were removed seems to be:
Site Replication (Very useful for backing up Buckets)
Object Lifecycle Management (ILM)
Tiering (Very useful for moving things between Hot and Cold Storage)
Everything Else (with the 3509 PR)
That brings us to the question - where should OpenMaxIO go from here.
IMO, a functioning feature rich GUI that connects to various S3 Storage Backend Servers like Minio might be the best direction to take this project in.

Hey, if you pull this off, maybe I can be the one wearing a OpenMaxIO T-Shirt at a conference or something. |

The frustrating thing is that nothing else comes close to MinIO in terms of feature parity. |

@jnfinitym wb They really cut down on the features last year. I made a list for me of the things I found obvious in the commits and partially already reverted. There are multiple ways to start. @huncrys has already done a lot of work here: https://github.com/huncrys/minio-console, by starting with v1.7.3 and going upwards. I started with v1.7.6, and with working builds continued upstream a little, then used The end result should be the same. The question is what is cleaner, and how big the individual changes should be. I would like to see the end result and the consolidated work, consolidated and maintained in this project.
