Minio Server Docker Compose & Nginx Configuration

This repository contains the docker-compose file for running Minio server and Nginx server. The Nginx server is used as a reverse proxy server for the Minio server. The Nginx server is also used to serve the static files from the Minio server.

Minio Server

Minio is an open-source object storage server compatible with Amazon S3 APIs. Minio is a high-performance distributed object storage server, designed for large-scale private cloud infrastructure. Minio is a self-hosted alternative to Amazon S3.

Nginx Server

Nginx is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy, and HTTP cache. The Nginx server is used as a reverse proxy server for the Minio server. The Nginx server is also used to serve the static files from the Minio server.

Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application's services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.

Prerequisites

Before running the docker-compose file, make sure that you have installed the following tools:

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Nginx
• Certbot (Optional)

Usage

1. Clone the repository

git https://github.com/teispace/minio-docker-config.git

2. Change the directory

cd minio-docker-config

3. Copy the .env.example file to .env file

cp .env.example .env

4. Update the .env file with the required values

5. Run the docker-compose file

docker-compose up -d

6. Change the server name in the nginx.conf file with the domain name in both console and minio

server_name console.example.com;

server_name assets.example.com;

7. Copy the nginx.conf file to the Nginx configuration directory

cp nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/minio

8. Create a symbolic link to the sites-enabled directory

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/minio /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/minio

9. Restart the Nginx server

systemctl restart nginx

10. Generate the SSL certificate using Certbot

• Note: Certbot is optional. You can use any other SSL certificate provider. Before running the Certbot command, make sure that the domain name is pointing to the server IP address.

certbot --nginx

11. Access the Minio server using the domain name

https://console.example.com

12. Access the Minio server using the IP address

https://127.0.0.1:9001

13. Allow the firewall rule for the Nginx server if not added already

ufw allow 'Nginx Full'

For more information, please refer to the Minio Documentation and Nginx Documentation.
