MinIO's Controversial Community Edition Changes Spark Outrage

MinIO, a popular open-source object storage solution, has removed key web-based management features from its community edition, prompting backlash from users. The free version now requires users to rely on command-line tools or upgrade to a paid plan. This decision, likened by some to 'enshittification,' has led many to explore alternatives like SeaweedFS, Garage, and Zenko. MinIO maintains that the changes are necessary to sustain the project's development.
