What is Silo (MinIO fork)?

PGSTY Silo – S3-Compatible Object Storage Keep your MinIO deployments running with a trusted, community-maintained fork. PGSTY Silo delivers the full open-source MinIO server experience—complete with binaries, multi-arch container images, Linux packages, Helm charts, and the restored web admin console—plus timely security patches and public advisories.

Built for self-hosters, homelabs, CI/CD pipelines, and production data lakes, Silo preserves 100% protocol and on-disk compatibility with MinIO. Your existing tools, SDKs, and data continue to work without modification.

Key Features

Drop-in MinIO replacement with unchanged S3 API, environment variables, metrics, and headers

Prebuilt binaries and Docker images for amd64 and arm64; RPM, DEB, and APK packages available

Full-featured web console and mcli client bundled

AGPL-3.0 license, no CLA, no telemetry, no feature paywalls

Signed releases with checksums, SBOMs, and GitHub attestations

Clear migration path from upstream MinIO with stable rollback targets

Silo exists for one purpose: to keep existing MinIO-compatible deployments operational when the upstream community edition was archived. It is maintenance, not a new product—focused on security, supply-chain continuity, and long-term stability.

Perfect for: PostgreSQL backup repositories, ML/AI data lakes, Kubernetes object storage, media archives, and any workload requiring reliable, self-hosted S3-compatible storage.
