Recent controversial changes include removing the web UI from the community version (v2.0.0), stopping binary builds and Docker image releases, and pushing users toward paid plans. Users now need to build containers from source or use alternative images like Chainguard's community-maintained builds. The OSS version can still be installed via Homebrew on macOS and accessed through CLI tools or S3-compatible clients. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
