Which software are folks using to run self-hosted / on-premises S3? I'm looking to replace MinIO in my homelab and would like to keep a S3 management UI.
I think the changelog is pretty clear on that, but I assume for many users this is not a "just" thing and matters a lot. Enshittification started before this change, but now it's really obvious where they are heading.
In my personal opinion, this is a perfectly fine change. The company has to make money. Nudging corporate users (who are incapable of running `mc`) towards purchase of license to have a web UI is a nice solution, I'm all for it.

I think that "Deprecated support" has another meaning. I hate when this kind of things happens.

To many of us, having a UI is an actual feature, in so much that if there are alternatives to MinIO that comes with a UI, I'd probably move to that.
I can see an individual or very small team using the web based GUI, but a large enterprise client would need automation that's done via the cli.
