Universal S3 Management Plane with Enterprise Auth
A commercial, self-hosted management UI for any S3-compatible backend (Garage, Ceph, SeaweedFS). It solves the MinIO migration pain by offering native OIDC integration, group-based RBAC, and a modern Cloudflare R2-style interface without requiring complex reverse-proxy middleware.

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “OIDC built-in is the killer feature. I've been bouncing between minio and garage post-license change and kept getting stuck on the auth wrapper layer with the official webui.”
- “I wanted proper auth handled by the backend itself, with [link] I had to set up an oauth2-proxy middleware on traefik to get keycloak login working.”
- “does it support per-bucket policies via OIDC group claims (e.g. read-only for one group, full RW for another)? That's the one thing I couldn't get working cleanly.”
- “Does your OIDC login also include proper RBAC? For now iirc Garage UI was always used as admin UI, no distinction between users/admin.”
- “I was using MinIO for S3 bucket management on my infrastructure, but since their license change I moved to Garage.”
- “I've been bouncing between minio and garage post-license change”
- “stuck to the since September not updated alternative... Asking like this because I don't want to switch to another temporary UI until the creators have finished their own.”
