> Plenty of others already maintain public OCI images of Minio (Bitnami is one example).

Looks like that's coming to an end too.

Yeah, I saw that recently. linuxserver.io bundles a lot of apps into OCI images, and I use many of theirs because they tend to be better-designed than official ones—or at least more consistent.

And while some people might be intimidated by it, it's not a huge lift to make your own images. I don't mean to trivialize it, because it's at best inconvenient, and can be challenging. In many cases it's only a few minutes of work to bundle something up. LLMs are great at this. For a Golang app like Minio, it's a piece of cake, since you don't have to install a zillion dependencies manually.
