You can still selfhost MinIO you just have to pay. You also pay for software when renting a cloud service so this seems similar.

But, as far as I can see in their site, the price for MinIO AIStor isn't even public, you have to "Request Pricing". And that's never a good sign.

Well MinIO has some weird quirks but I wanted to point out that "open source and free" and "self hosting" are not the same.

MinIO took away the source, not the self hosting.

But the free self hosting is only for single node, isn't it? Not fit for high availability. And the process for the rest aren't public.

With "process" I meant "pricing".
