MinIO Is Dead, Long Live MinIO
Summary
The article discusses MinIO’s archiving of its open-source repo and how the author forks and resurrects it under a community-driven build (pgsty/minio). It covers restoring the admin console, rebuilding binary distributions, and restoring CE documentation to ensure production-ready, CVE-fixed artifacts, emphasizing supply-chain continuity and the role of AI tools in maintenance. It also argues that open-source licenses (AGPL) allow forks, and outlines governance principles for a sustainable, production-focused fork.
