Unfortunately, this fork has not developed any traction. It's last commit was 4 months ago basically after the initial fork and instantly became dormant.
You can see the list of 'Still alive?' issues: https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser/issues...
MinIO stops distributing free Docker images - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45665452 - Oct 2025 (499 comments)
But, if the main product is 100% F/OSS AGPL, how are they accepting code from outside contributors and still maintaining a private enterprise offering under (presumably) a different license?
Just let the company fade away..
This is absolutely not comparable to something like OpenTofu, OpenBao, Forgejo, etc. (I guess it's more like recent CentOS forks, like AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, or whatever.)
Personally, I think supporting it would be regrettable. MinIO is fine.
So you either have to stick to a vulnerable version or have no een UI.
This form seems to target just that. So for the UI kinda similar actually.
OpenMaxIO, Forgejo, Valkey, OpenTofu..
Some worse than the others, but still..
Btw, MinIO making these not "open open-source" moves should not be a surprise. Since the beginning, YEARS ago their own CEO, lead people talked in a way it was clear they wanted to follow the Hashicorp book, a few years later they've taken quite a few hundreds of millions in investment.
So let's not be childish, adopt it for what it is and when it happens adapt it for what it is.

Both forks of Caddy...
(submitted title was "OpenMaxIO is a community-maintained fork of MinIO"; we've replaced it with what the article says, per https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html)

It seems this is just a community-maintained fork of the minio UI, not minio itself.
Title is misleading if so
Step 2: Wow, because this is a community project I can depend on it continuing to exist freely thanks to a large base of diverse parties invested in its continued growth and availability.
Step 3: Just kidding, I'm taking back the thing I made. Sorry if you were depending on it, migrate to something else or pay me.
Step 4: WTF dude?!
Step 5: Why are you all so entitled?
The only thing they owed people here was a 60 day notice imo. That would better respect the social contract.
Frankly the whole thing is not newsworthy
