How-to

MinIO can be accessed via port 9000 on the following DNS name from within your cluster:
my-minio.minio-system.svc.cluster.local

To access MinIO from localhost, run the below commands:

  1. export POD_NAME=$(kubectl get pods --namespace minio-system -l "release=my-minio" -o jsonpath="{.items[0].metadata.name}")

  2. kubectl port-forward $POD_NAME 9000 --namespace minio-system

Read more about port forwarding here: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_port-forward/

You can now access MinIO server on http://localhost:9000. Follow the below steps to connect to MinIO server with mc client:

  1. Download the MinIO mc client - https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc.html#quickstart

  2. export MC_HOST_my-minio-local=http://$(kubectl get secret --namespace minio-system my-minio -o jsonpath="{.data.rootUser}" | base64 --decode):$(kubectl get secret --namespace minio-system my-minio -o jsonpath="{.data.rootPassword}" | base64 --decode)@localhost:9000

  3. mc ls my-minio-local
