Setting up minio

The minio documentation is here if you want to learn more about it.

Some minio defaults that you can change if you want:

Attribute	Default	Description
Username	minioadmin	Default admin user name, it can be changed by starting the container with a variable MINIO_ROOT_USER
Password	minioadmin	Default admin password, it can be changed by starting the container with a variable MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD
Admin Port	9001	This port provides a web UI interface to minio so you can administer it. Dont make this available outside your network.

NOTE:

• The settings we used on the installation page makes web UI port available from the host. So you should be able to go to http://[HOST]:9001 and login with the admin username/password. (Where HOST is the hostname (or IP address) to your machine running hosting the clrghouz containers.)

Setup for clrghouz

Create a bucket to store files

Run this command:

> docker exec -it clrghouz-minio-1 mc mb /data/clrghouz
Bucket created successfully `/data/clrghouz`.

Create a token to access minio

We need to create a token and secret for our [MINIO_ACCESS_KEY] and [MINIO_SECRET_KEY] as mentioned on Installation.

The easiest way to do that is

1. Login to the minio web UI http://[HOST]:9001 (where [HOST] is the hostname or IP address of the host running the clrghouz containers), using the details defined above. 2. Select Access Keys from the left
2. Select + Create access key on the right
3. Press Create
4. Record the presented details in your .env file:
   • Replace the Access Key [MINIO_ACCESS_KEY] with the created Access Key (its the value for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID)
   • Replace the Secret Key [MINIO_SECRET_KEY] with the created Secret Key (its the value for AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY)
