Pure anecdata: the fact that this is happening at all has us (at work) looking for alternatives. Once we finalize on the best one we'll swap out MinIO permanently. I can't imagine we're the only ones, but who knows?
If you use this tech, perhaps you could explain what the real issue is behind dropping Docker? I mean, it's still AGPL licensed — why can't you use it from source?
In other words, what is the significant difference for your team that's worth changing the stack and navigating through the uncertainty of an alternative product?
Part of it is the trend of MinIO walking away from community customers. That to me is not a good sign, especially when it comes to project longevity. Do projects that do this kind of thing continue to flourish and thrive? I'm not sure that they do.
It's hard to feel good about remaining hitched to a horse that continues to send out red flags, especially when there are other good options out there for us.
Thanks, so the reason is that you are not confident in this open-source offering anymore.
Ease of setup and certified working solution. And yes, people should pay for certified working solution. But not when they use it the first time itself
Yes, I understand that Docker is easy to set up.
However, I also understand that for any organization it is very painful to change their existing stack, thus I'm trying to understand what is gained between AGPL sources without Docker and switching technology to something different with Docker except 'ease of setup'.
