Regarding Filesystems minio and s3

filesystems.php

<?php

// Example of a filesystem using s3-swap
return [

    's3' => [
            'driver' => 's3-swap',
            'key'    => env('AWS_KEY'),
            'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET'),
            'region' => 'us-east-1',
            'bucket' => 'horizon.wilbergroup.com',
            // local use
            'endpoint'                => env('MINIO_ENDPOINT'),
            'use_path_style_endpoint' => true,
            ]
];

Filesystem Decision Tree

Filesystem Driver

S3 BUCKET IN PRODUCTION

- How to use:
    - Use s3-swap driver and use minio for local development
    - Use Storage fake for tests

- when to use:
    - backups
    - uploaded files or documents storage (images, pdfs)
    - generated files or documents storage

MINIO IN PRODUCTION

- How to use:
    - Use s3 driver and use minio for local development
    - Use Storage fake for tests

- When to use:
    - Other internal, non-PHP processes need to be able to write to location
    - Convenient to access with Windows file explorer UI
    - Files will only be used internally

LOCAL IN PRODUCTION

- How to use:
    - use local driver
    - Use Storage fake for tests.

- When to use:
    - Files are present that we want in version control
    - Files that will change infrequently enough to justify being part of the repo
    - NON user uploaded files
    - Think "fixtures"

Filesystem Access Keys

Each application should have a single set of credentials per driver. The only exception to this would be if you were using multiple minio drives.

SwapDriverServiceProvider.php

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Storage;

class SwapDriverServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap the application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Storage::extend('s3-swap', function ($app, $config) {
            return Storage::createS3Driver($this->getConfig($app, $config));
        });
    }

    public function getConfig($app, $config)
    {
        return !$app->environment('production') ?
            $config :
            array_except($config, [
                'endpoint',
                'use_path_style_endpoint',
            ]);
    }
}
