Commercial only, they will replace the agpl contributions from external people. (Or at least they will say that)
Probably yes.
Am forced to use MinIO for certain products now but will eventually move to better eventually. Garage is high on my list of alternatives.

Edit: jeez, three of us all at once...
`Be wary that an OSD, whether based on a physical device or a file, is resource intensive.`
Can anyone quantify "resource intensive" here? Is it "takes an entire Raspberry Pi to run the minimum set" or is it "takes 4 cores per OSD"?
Edit: This is the specific doc page https://canonical-microceph.readthedocs-hosted.com/stable/ho...
minio was also suited for some smaller use cases (e.g. running a partial S3 compatible storage for integration tests). Ceph isn't really good for it.
But if you ran large minio clusters in production ceph might be a very good alternative.

You create a proprietary piece of software. You license it to Google and negotiate terms. You then negotiate different terms with Microsoft. Nothing so far prevents you from doing this. You can't yank the license from Google unless your contract allows that, but maybe it does. You can in theory then go and release it under a different license to the public. If that license is perpetual and non-revokable then presumably I can use it after you decide to stop offering that license. But if the license is non-transferrable then I can't pass on your software to someone else either by giving them a flash drive with it, or by releasing it under a different license.
Several open source projects have been re-licensed. The main thing that really is the obstacle is that in a popular open source or copyleft project you have many contributors each of which holds the copyright to their patches. So now you have a mess of trying to relicense only some parts of your codebase and replace others for the people resisting the change or those you can't reach. It's a messy process. For example, check out how the Open Street Maps data got relicensed and what that took.
It is useful to remember that one may fork at the commit before a license change.
That got backlash so now it’s just getting dropped entirely?
People get to do whatever they want but bit jarring to go from this is worth something people will pay for to maintenance mode in quick succession
Start open source to use free advertising and community programmer, and then dumps it all for commercial licensing.
I think n8n is next because they finished the release candidate for version 2.0, but there are no changelogs.
That's literally what the commit shows that they're doing?

fwiw while they do produce Docker containers for it, it's also extremely simple to run without that - it's a single binary and running it with systemd is unsurprisingly simple[1].

It's not a fully featured s3 compatible service, like MinIO, but we used it to great success as a local on-prem s3 read/write cache with AWS as the backing S3 store. This avoided expensive network egress charges as we wanted to process data in both AWS as well as in a non-AWS GPU cluster (i.e. a neocloud)
Need to start reconsidering the approach now and looking for alternatives
The closest alternative seems to be RustFS. Has anyone tried it? I was waiting until they support site replication before switching.
Its like GET <namespace>/object, PUT <namespace>/object. To me its the most obvious mapping of HTTP to immutable object key value storage you could imagine.
It is bad that the control plane responses can be malformed XML (e.g keys are not escaped right if you put XML control characters in object paths) but that can be forgiven as an oversight.
Its not perfect but I don't think its a strange API at all.
The core is stable at this point, but the user/policy management and the web interface is still in the works.
