this is great to see! I used SeaweedFS in the meantime; it worked great too, and there are some other great alternatives [1], but I'm glad the original MinIO version continues. Gonna try this soon.

SeaweedFS is also great and would try it if I had a greenfield project. However I had a very big installation of Minio already so trying to move it to anoyther system would be very difficult and dangerous (and would probably need a lot of downtime). So Silo was a godsend!

I am already using this Minio fork for more than 2 months (before the rename) and it's exactly what I dreamed of: Not only it properly keeps supporing Minio and can be installed without changes to your Minio installation, but it also includes the full console that was removed some months before Minio was archived.

A big thanks to the contributors of this package!
