Two coupled changes that must land together, because the same files carry both:
the server now identifies itself as Silo, and every path that would have called
home to a MinIO-operated service is closed.
Product identity
- build-constants.go: store name, UA name and startup banner become Silo. The
Go identifiers (MinioStoreName, MinioBannerName, ...) keep their names on
purpose - renaming exported symbols would churn the compatibility surface for
a cosmetic gain, and the rebrand guard freezes that surface.
- main.go, server-startup-msg.go, ftp-server.go and the user-visible log, help
and error strings across cmd/ and internal/ switch to Silo. Original MinIO
copyright, LICENSE, NOTICE and CREDITS are untouched; --version now prints
the upstream copyright, the pgsty modification notice, and the trademark
policy's approved "based on MinIO technology" attribution.
- api-headers.go: the HTTP Server header becomes "Silo". This is the one
externally observable identity change, so TestCommonHeadersUseSiloProductName
pins it - probes that sniff for "MinIO" must move to capability detection.
- Prometheus metric HELP strings keep their MinIO wording. They are part of the
metrics contract the guard protects, not product copy.
Configuration directory
- config-dir.go: new installs use ~/.silo. If only ~/.minio exists it is still
read, with a one-time notice and no files moved. If both exist ~/.silo wins
and an ambiguity warning is emitted; an explicit --config-dir always wins.
Covered by TestSelectDefaultConfigDir. The internal .minio.sys layout is
never renamed - this rule applies to the user config directory only.
Upstream service lockdown
- globalInplaceUpdateDisabled is now true at initialization rather than being
set from MINIO_UPDATE. common-main.go still parses MINIO_UPDATE so upgrading
nodes do not fail on an unknown key, but warns that the value is ignored;
there is no way to re-enable the updater. TestInplaceUpdateCannotBeEnabled
guards that. Without this, an admin with mc could have overwritten
/usr/bin/silo with an upstream MinIO binary.
- verifyBinary and commitBinary refuse early; the ServerUpdate v1/v2 admin
routes and the peer-rest update endpoints stay registered and keep returning
the existing programmatic error, so clients see a stable failure rather than
a 404.
- MinioReleaseBaseURL and defaultMinisignPubkey are emptied: no dl.min.io
download root, and upstream's minisign key is no longer a trust root for
anything this fork ships.
- cmd/callhome.go is deleted and internal/config/subnet/ is reduced to parsing
its old keys and reporting that the integration is disabled. config-current.go
warns instead of failing when callhome or SUBNET settings are present, so an
upgraded node with those keys still starts.
- internal/config/errors.go replaces the MinIO Slack and support entry points
with Silo documentation and issue links. Error codes and programmatic fields
are unchanged.
Verified: the compatibility baseline is unchanged except for the deliberate
removal of the /api/health/upload SUBNET route; go build, go vet and the full
cmd/ and internal/ unit suites pass; a locally built binary starts, serves
S3/Admin/metrics on the unchanged /minio/* routes, answers with Server: Silo,
and falls back to a pre-existing ~/.minio with the expected notice.
