> 2026-03-02: Ruohang Feng has forked MinIO to pgsty/minio and is promising to maintain a stable, CVE-patched, distribution.

This is what I went with.

I use it in end to end tests as an S3 simulator that starts and stops instantly and reads & writes to a local directory, - as you'd expect it's great in that role. No complaints. Given the fork's maintainer puts their real name on it & stakes their reputation, you'd assume it can be trusted - but my use case is simpler than most.

According to https://github.com/pgsty/silo it's pgsty/silo now:

> Renamed from pgsty/minio to pgsty/silo, default branch master → main, on 2026-08-06

		Neat! I had switched some projects to SeaweedFS's Docker image. It worked well. This is good to know there is a successor open source project that would require no code changes to use. Will evaluate.

		This is what I use. I had a minio instance that was replaced flawlessly with silo. This is an excellent project and needs more traction. All existing minio users must switch to Silo ASAP.

I might have to try this. I’m currently pinned on the last non-crippled version of minio
