What's the required environment variables for Minio storage?

#1

Hi there

as I understand, storing static files in cloud storage is only valiable via Min.io server
I’ve deployed a server and set the following environment variables

MINIO_ACCESS_KEY
MINIO_SECRET_KEY
MINIO_ENDPOINT

the thing is nothing changed!
is there other variables need to be used?

Hi munawir,

first, you need to have buckets for the webapps created, that would be at least:

  • compose
  • system

Next, do use MINIO_SECURE=false, since we do not support custom TLS with minio (for now).

After that, please check and post the logs of the minio namespace, an example would be:
15:50:33.206 INFO initializing minio {"bucket": "compose", "endpoint": "localhost:9000"}

That should do it, upload some data in compose and check in minio console or via mc.

hello @peter

so, the configuration is as follows
creating the buckets and setting these variables

MINIO_ACCESS_KEY
MINIO_SECRET_KEY
MINIO_ENDPOINT
MINIO_SECURE

regarding MINIO_ENDPOINT, it’s the domain name without HTTPS (although the Minio running on HTTPS)

the thing is that when I upload a file, I got this error message in the UI

Issue with file upload: " <html><head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>502 Server Error</title> </head> <body text=#000000 bgcolor=#ffffff> <h1>Error: Server Error</h1> <h2>The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.<p>Please try again in 30 seconds.</h2> <h2></h2> </body></html> "

and when I check the bucket from Minio I see there the image uploaded but I can’t open it (the file is corrupted)

any idea how to overcome this?

do you think we need to configure this variable STORAGE_PATH too? if yes, what’s its value should be?

hi, one more strange scenario I’ve found

I tried to upload different files rather than an image
all failed to upload correctly except for json files (although I make them larger in size but it worked)

any idea why?

Hi @tjerman, if I remember correctly you’ve configured Minio for a demo a while back

if so, could you share with me the variables ?

additional update …

when uploading the image or pdf files, when Corteza tries to retrieve them it got 500 status in the console and the response in the console is seeker can't seek
