minio is no longer free and needs to be replaced #215

https://github.com/minio/minio is archived.

Also the last Dockerhub push is around 6 months old.

I have not deep dived into the matter, but here's a nice article which covers the use-case of this repo:

https://rmoff.net/2026/01/14/alternatives-to-minio-for-single-node-local-s3/
along with some docker-compose samples:
https://github.com/rmoff/minio-alternatives

these do not cover ceph, which is only available through the quai registry, but seems a little too much for use in this project anyway.

Right now mc still seems to be available, but as minio also offers a "client" we will probably see this will be removed in the future as well.

So I see need to adapation.
Your thoughts ?
