I'm currently testing for alternatives of minio on my homelab. Ceph was nice, lots of bells and whistles, built in support for virtual IPs is excellent, but on my aging hardware it was using 10-15% CPU in my VM while idle. Currently benchmarking garagefs, scales very well with core count and multi node set up is a breeze.

Garage uses the AGPL v3.0 license, which isn't open source-friendly. Is OpenIO no longer maintained?

GarageFS is supported by NLnet *. NLnet is very Open Soucre minded and sees no objection in supporting it due to the AGPL. Maybe AGPL isn’t that Open Source unfriendly?

And indeed I noticed that OpenIO isn’t updated for quite some time.
