[!NOTE]
THIS REPOSITORY IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.

Alternatives:

  • AIStor Free — Full‑featured, standalone edition for community use (free license)
  • AIStor Enterprise — Distributed edition with commercial support

All usage of MinIO in your application stack requires validation against AGPLv3 obligations, which include but are not limited to the release of modified code to the community from which you have benefited. Any commercial or proprietary usage of the AGPLv3 software, including repackaging or reselling services/features, is done at your own risk.

The AGPLv3 provides no obligation by any party to support, maintain, or warranty the original or any modified work.

All support is provided on a best‑effort basis through GitHub and our Slack channel, and any member of the community is welcome to contribute and assist others in their usage of the software.

MinIO AIStor includes enterprise‑grade support and licensing for workloads which require commercial or proprietary usage and production‑level SLA/SLO‑backed support. For more information, reach out for a quote.

Legacy Binary Releases

Historical pre‑compiled binary releases remain available for reference but are no longer maintained:

  • GitHub Releases:
  • Direct downloads:

You can alternatively run go build and use the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables to target a specific platform. For example:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 go build

Start MinIO by running minio server PATH where PATH is any empty folder on your local filesystem.

[!NOTE]
Production environments using compiled‑from‑source MinIO binaries do so at their own risk.
The AGPLv3 license provides no warranties nor liabilities for any such usage.
