Someone arriving at main after the rename has one question the README did not
answer: where did the MinIO-named builds go. Both READMEs now say it directly —
the archived minio branch and the releases up to RELEASE.2026-08-04T00-00-00Z
hold the artifacts maintained under the original identity, and those assets and
the docker.io/pgsty/minio image stay published and unmodified.
The note also records the rename itself with its date, and repeats the one fact
that determines whether an operator has any work to do: only product and
artifact names changed. MINIO_* variables, minio_* metrics, x-minio-* headers,
/minio/* routes and the on-disk format are the same.

The transitional references land in one commit, because they are only correct
together: the repository is pgsty/silo, its default branch is main, and nothing
in the tree should point a user at the old names.
Changed:
- Workflow branch filters. go.yml and vulncheck.yml gated on `branches: master`
for both push and pull_request, so renaming the default branch would have
taken automatic CI offline with no error and no signal - the workflows would
simply never trigger again. They now name main.
- Release target. goreleaser's `release.github.name` becomes silo, which is
what actually decides where a tagged build publishes. sign-release-rpms.sh's
GH_REPO default follows.
- The OCI `image.source` label, the Helm chart `sources` entry, the security
advisory link in the issue-template config, and the go.mod comment citing the
LDAP TLS fix.
- 115 occurrences across README, README_ZH, SECURITY, CONTRIBUTING and 30 docs
pages, including 72 links that also carried the master branch in their path.
Those matter most: GitHub redirects clone, fetch, push and web URLs after a
rename, but raw.githubusercontent.com does not, and neither follows a branch
rename - every one of those links would 404 twice over.
- Three error strings in cmd/erasure-sets.go, cmd/storage-errors.go and
internal/config/errors.go that print an issue URL to operators. These are Go
string literals inside rebrand-guard's brand allowlist, so the baseline is
regenerated. The regeneration removes exactly those three entries and adds
none; all twelve other protected sets, including the 9014 exported symbols,
are byte-identical.
- The transitional-naming disclaimers in README, README_ZH, SECURITY and
CONTRIBUTING are dropped, since they no longer describe anything.
Deliberately unchanged, all three because they exist to reject or freeze the old
name rather than to point at it:
- buildscripts/minio-upgrade.sh pins pgsty/minio@sha256:b6bfe72... - the frozen
pre-rebrand image is the control group for the MinIO-to-Silo upgrade test.
- helm-migration-guard rejects any rendered container still pulling pgsty/minio.
- verify-rebrand.sh rejects the same in the delivery surfaces.
Also unchanged: docs/config/README.md links to pgsty/mc/blob/master, and that
repository's default branch really is still master. It moves when mc does.
verify-rebrand.sh gains three assertions so this cannot silently regress: no
source reference may name pgsty/minio outside the three allowlisted guards, no
link may target pgsty/silo's master branch, and go.yml and vulncheck.yml must
filter on main. Both new rejections were negative-tested - reintroducing a
master branch filter and adding a pgsty/minio URL each fail the gate with the
specific message.
This commit assumes the rename actually happens. Until the GitHub branch and
repository renames are executed, the links it introduces do not resolve.

README, README_ZH, SECURITY, COMPLIANCE, CONTRIBUTING, NOTICE,
code_of_conduct, the vulnerability and PR-etiquette documents, the GitHub issue
and pull request templates, and the docs/ tree all present Silo as the product.
The Grafana dashboards under docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/ have their panel
titles and descriptions rebranded while every minio_* query, label and
expression is left alone, so existing alerts and recording rules keep matching.
The distinction the review demanded is applied per hit rather than by
search-and-replace:
- Product and command text becomes Silo and silo: install and run instructions,
systemd examples, compose services, download links, badges.
- Protocol and interface text keeps MinIO: MINIO_* variables, minio_* metrics,
x-minio-* headers, /minio/* routes, .minio.sys, arn:minio, and API field and
error names.
- Attribution keeps MinIO and gains the fork's own: the AGPL obligations,
original copyright, CREDITS and NOTICE stay, with the modification notice
added alongside rather than replacing them.
- Historical and third-party references are left as facts, not rewritten for
brand tidiness.
README and README_ZH each carry an explicit non-affiliation notice, document
the side-by-side package migration including the
/etc/systemd/system/silo.service.d/10-legacy-user.conf drop-in for keeping a
legacy UID/GID, and state that recursive chown is never performed. The trademark
attribution uses the policy's approved "based on MinIO technology" wording, not
the shortened form the policy rejects.
github.com/pgsty/minio links are left in place and labelled transitional. The
repository has not been renamed, and rewriting them now would produce documented
URLs that 404 until the cutover; they change in the cutover commit together with
the goreleaser release target, the OCI source label and the raw-content branch.

Replace upstream docs.min.io references with the SILO documentation domain and remove the upstream community path prefix.

It was decided that we will be deprecating ARM support
for minio builds. ARM users should simply compile from source.
Additionally 32bit version of Linux, Windows and FreeBSD (64bit)
are deprecated.
