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.

Deploy Silo on Docker Compose 
Docker Compose allows defining and running single host, multi-container Docker applications.
With Compose, you use a Compose file to configure Silo services. Then, using a single command, you can create and launch all the Distributed Silo instances from your configuration. Distributed Silo instances will be deployed in multiple containers on the same host. This is a great way to set up development, testing, and staging environments, based on Distributed Silo.
1. Prerequisites
- Familiarity with Docker Compose.
- Docker installed on your machine. Download the relevant installer from here.
2. Run Distributed Silo on Docker Compose
To deploy distributed Silo with Docker Compose, download the local
docker-compose.yaml and nginx.conf into
the same working directory. Compose pulls the Silo image, so no source build is
required. Then run one of the commands below.
GNU/Linux and macOS
docker-compose pull
docker-compose up
or
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yaml silo
Windows
docker-compose.exe pull
docker-compose.exe up
or
docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yaml silo
The S3 API is accessible through the load balancer on port 9000 and the Silo Console on port 9001. Open http://127.0.0.1:9001/ in a browser. Four Silo server instances are reverse proxied through Nginx.
Notes
-
By default the Docker Compose file uses the Docker image for latest Silo server release. You can change the image tag to pull a specific Silo Docker image.
-
Four distributed Silo instances are created by default. You can add more Silo services (up to 16 total) to the Compose deployment. To add a service:
- Replicate a service definition and change the name of the new service appropriately.
- Update the command section in each service.
- Add a new Silo server instance to the upstream directive in the Nginx configuration file.
