The fork looks like it might be a bit stale:

• https://github.com/OpenMaxIO/openmaxio-object-browser

Probably time to look at Minio alternatives:

• https://seaweedfs.com/
• https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/
• https://ceph.com/en/discover/
• https://rustfs.com/

Whats the implication of that on its cloudron app ?

@AartJansen Looks like they now fully and openly abandoned the open source model which means users will likely have to migrate to other solutions.
