They have been removing features from the open source version for a while.
The closest alternative seems to be RustFS. Has anyone tried it? I was waiting until they support site replication before switching.

I hadn't heard of RustFS and it looks interesting, although I nearly clicked away based on the sheer volume of marketing wank on their main page. The GitHub repo is here: https://github.com/rustfs/rustfs
I don’t begrudge it that. I get the impression that Garage isn’t necessarily focussed on this kind of use case.
After years of using Garage for S3 for the homelab I’d never pick anything else. Absolutely rock solid, no problem whatsoever. There isn’t ONE other piece of software I can say that about, not ONE.
Major kudos to the guys at deuxfleurs. Merci beaucoup!
They have a lot of obviously fake quotes from non-existent people at positions that don’t even mention what company it is. The pictures are misgendered and even contain pictures of kids.
Feels like the whole page is AI generated.
So, arguably worse than MinIO.
This is not that. This is not even a license. They want a full transfer of intellectual property ownership. Sure that enables them to use it in a commercial product, but it also enables them to sue if contributors contribute similarly to other projects. Obviously that would create a shit storm, and there is an exception with the public license, but riddle me this: can you legally make similar contributions to multiple projects that have this type of CLA?
Let us take a step back and instead look where such terms are more common: employment contracts.
Whether you can or will sign one is a different matter (I will not).
You don't need assignment to the project if you are not planning to change project's license.
You do need assignment to the project if you need to ever rugpull the community and close the code
The number of weird incompetent things the Minio people have done is surprisingly high.
This was going to be my next project, as I am currently storing my Kopia/Ente on MinIO in a non-distributed way. MinIO project going to shi*s is a good reason to take on this project faster than later.
I'd take a look at garage (didn't try seaweed yet).
Is it open to the public? I'd like to check it out
It's promising, but definitely check the roadmap before deploying at scale.
