MinIO has marked its open-source GitHub repository as "THIS REPOSITORY IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED," effectively ending active community development. The company is shifting focus to AIStor, its subscription-based enterprise object storage platform. The code remains available under AGPLv3, but future innovation and support are centered on the commercial product.

MinIO transitions to a source-only distribution model, ending pre-compiled Docker images, sparking community concerns over security and feature removal.
