VALUE PROPOSITION

What upstream dropped, SILO picks up

MinIO's community edition gutted its console, stopped shipping binaries, and archived its security updates. SILO restores all three—on the same code, at the same performance.

WEB CONSOLE

The full console, restored

Manage buckets, identity, monitoring, and replication in the browser

  • Upstream stripped the AGPL web console down to a stub
  • SILO ships the full management UI: buckets, IAM, monitoring, site replication
  • No paywall, no feature gate—the console every operator remembers

The console upstream took away, back in your browser

SECURITY PATCHES

Patched, not abandoned

CVEs get fixed here, advisories next to the code

  • Upstream's community edition is archived—new CVEs land on no one's desk
  • 19 security fixes shipped on the active release line, each with an advisory
  • Report privately, triage reproducibly, publish transparently

Security that keeps moving

RELEASE ARTIFACTS

Binaries, prebuilt and signed

From source to signed, runnable packages

  • No self-build requirement, no detour through a closed commercial download
  • Versioned binaries, RPM / DEB / APK, and multi-arch container images
  • GPG-signed packages with published checksums

The delivery surface, maintained

COMPATIBILITY

A drop-in replacement

Swap the image name; your data stays in place

  • The delivery surface is renamed silo; the protocol and data are not
  • S3 API, MINIO_* variables, metrics, routes, and disk format unchanged
  • See the compatibility audit and migration guide, rollback included

Point the image at pgsty/silo—everything else stays

docker-compose.yml
# Migrate from MinIO to Silo
services:
  minio:
-   image: minio/minio:latest
+   image: pgsty/silo:latest
    environment:  # MINIO_* unchanged
    volumes:      # same volume, same data

S3 INTERFACE

The interface your stack already speaks

Silo renames the product and its delivery surfaces—never the protocol. The S3 API, MINIO_* configuration, and on-disk format stay as your stack expects, with every difference recorded in the compatibility audit.

USER VOICES

Real migration reports, with the caveat intact

Public third-party records from February–July 2026. They describe individual environments, not universal compatibility or production guarantees.

MAINTENANCE

A deliberately narrow promise

SILO exists for continuity across existing MinIO-compatible deployments—not an unlimited product roadmap.

MAINTAINED SURFACE

What stays maintained

  • Builds and dependencies for the active release line
  • Applicable security fixes and advisories
  • Focused fixes for reproducible defects
  • Versioned artifacts and documentation

EXPLICIT BOUNDARY

What is not promised

  • A full continuation of the upstream roadmap
  • Historical releases or multiple support branches
  • Untested, item-by-item compatibility guarantees
  • Response, remediation, or release-time SLAs
