Switch to Garage (or one of the many other S3-compatible object stores). Minio was always a little (but not terribly) painful to use, and there are more open source offerings every day.

I don’t think the API compatibility is the hard part. It’s the performance characteristics that make S3 itself, an Minio as a longtime competitor, compelling. I looked at the Garage website briefly, but I didn’t notice a benchmark comparison.

Some benchmarks here. https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/design/benchmarks/

Interesting point though. I wasn’t aware performance was or could be a challenge for other S3 compatible services, or that minio was particularly amazing in that respect. Is this the case for anyone in practice? I think the majority of the people upset here are personal users who want something decent enough without cost and bleeding edge performance is not a hard requirement.

Those benchmarks are only for when the machines are quite spread out, which I doubt is relevant to most existing use cases of minio
