    🔥 The free & Open Source DocuSign alternative

  • I don't see that they have a CLA -- I can only find their note about the license contributors must take[0].

    I guess that's one way around the CLA -- they don't need one if they force all contributions to be MIT in a file most people wouldn't read.

    In the end people the actual likelihood of someone making a credible legal threat is low so it all seems somewhat spurious but great way to go around the overt beacon that requiring CLA signing is.

  • S3 Server

    Zenko CloudServer, an open-source Node.js implementation of the Amazon S3 protocol on the front-end and backend storage capabilities to multiple clouds, including Azure and Google.

  • > Theoretically they could swap with minio but last time we used it it was not a drop-in replacement yet.

    Depends on whether AGPL v3 works for you or not (or whether you decide to pay them), I guess: https://min.io/pricing

    I've actually been looking for more open alternatives, but haven't found much.

    Zenko CloudServer seemed to be somewhat promising, but doesn't seem to be managed very actively: https://github.com/scality/cloudserver/issues/4986 (their Docker images on DockerHub were last updated 10 months ago, which is what the homepage links to; blog doesn't seem active since 2019, forums don't have much going on, despite some action on GitHub still)

    There was also Garage, but that one is also AGPL v3: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/

    The closest I got was discovering that SeaweedFS has an S3 compatible mode: https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs

  • garage

    (Mirror) S3-compatible object store for small self-hosted geo-distributed deployments. Main repo: https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage (by deuxfleurs-org)
