MinIO

Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3

After MinIO's parent company abandoned the project in late 2025, developer Robin Moffatt evaluated six Docker-first, open-source S3-compatible replacements for use in local demos and data pipeline testing. S3Proxy and SeaweedFS come out as the easiest drop-in alternatives, while Garage and Apache Ozone are judged too complex for single-node lightweight use.
