S3 Compatible Object Storage Server (MinIO)

1. Download minio and mc binary for linux

Put the binary in /opt/minio/bin:

wget https://dl.min.io/server/minio/release/linux-amd64/minio
wget https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc

2. Install as linux service

Credentials file: /opt/minio/credentials.env

MINIO_ROOT_USER=minioadmin
MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=minioadmin

Service file: /lib/systemd/system/minio.service

[Unit]
Description=S3 compatible object storage server

[Service]
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=/opt/minio/credentials.env
ExecStart=/opt/minio/bin/minio server --address ":9000" --console-address ":9001" /mnt/data

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Create the data directory:

mkdir /mnt/data

Start it:

systemctl start minnio

3. Prepare the reverse proxy

Use nginx as the reverse proxy for our object storage, to allow access object url but not listing the bucket directory.

server {
  listen        80;
  server_name  static.domain.com;

  location ~ ^/(your|list|of|public|bucket)/(.+)$ {
    proxy_pass http://ip.address.of.minio:9000;
  }

  location / {
    return 403;
  }
}

Now you can access your files via http://static.domain.com/yourbucket/filename.jpg and the console via http://ip.address.of.minio:9001
