Show HN: Silo, a maintained fork of MinIO, offers S3-compatible object storage. The project aims to continue the features and support that were removed from MinIO's community edition.

SILO restores the full web console, prebuilt binaries, and security updates that were dropped by upstream MinIO. It functions as a drop-in replacement, allowing users to swap image names with minimal changes to their existing deployments. The S3 API, configuration variables, and on-disk format remain unchanged for seamless compatibility.

Maintained by the PGSTY organization, SILO focuses on continuity for existing MinIO deployments rather than an expansive new product roadmap. Key features include a fully functional management UI, versioned and GPG-signed binaries, and regular releases. The project is committed to remaining AGPLv3 licensed with no paywalls or telemetry.
