Story

I built Sairo because searching for a file in the AWS S3 console takes ~14 seconds on a large bucket, and MinIO removed their web console from the free edition last year.

Sairo is a single Docker container that indexes your bucket into SQLite FTS5 and gives you full-text search in 2.4ms (p50) across 134K objects / 38 TB. No external databases, no microservices, no message queues.

What it does: - Instant search across all your objects (SQLite FTS5, 1,300 objects/sec indexing) - File preview for 45+ formats — Parquet schemas, CSV tables, PDFs, images, code - Password-protected share links with expiration - Version management — browse, restore, purge versions and delete markers - Storage analytics with growth trend charts - RBAC, 2FA, OAuth, LDAP, audit logging - CLI with 24 commands (brew install ashwathstephen/sairo/sairo)

Works with AWS S3, MinIO, Cloudflare R2, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, Ceph, and any S3-compatible endpoint.

  docker run -d -p 8000:8000 \
    -e S3_ENDPOINT=https://your-endpoint.com \
    -e S3_ACCESS_KEY=xxx -e S3_SECRET_KEY=xxx \

I'd love honest feedback — what's missing, what would make you actually switch to this?
