    Function Description

    A MinIO container will be deployed by default serving as the file server of the cluster when you deploy a clustered project via FineOps.

    MinIO is a high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-deploy distributed object storage system.

    MinIO uses the S3 protocol and has a unique file storage logic. You cannot upload files directly to the server for use.

    This article briefly introduces how to use the O&M project's built-in MinIO file server.

    Obtaining MinIO Information

    1. Log in to FineOps as the admin, select a project, and choose Maintenance > Component Management.

    2. Click Export Deployment Information. After the successful export, it prompts the file address and file name.

    3. Find the corresponding file as prompted, and then search for information as needed.

    Information

    Description

    MinIO access address

    1. Search for MINIO_BROWSER_REDIRECT_URL in the file.

    2. Add suffix /login to the content after the equal sign (=). The result is the MinIO access address.

    If the MinIO address is http://IP address:Port number/minio, the MinIO access address is http://IP address:Port number/minio/login.

    MinIO username

    The default username is minioadmin.

    MinIO password

    Search for MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD in the file.

    The content after the equal sign (=) is the MinIO user's password.

    Accessing the MinIO Console

    MinIO is an object storage server that uses the S3 protocol instead of FTP. Therefore, you cannot directly connect to and manipulate MinIO using FTP tools such as FileZilla.

    Access the MinIO server's address through a browser and then upload and download files on the web page.

    1. Refer to the previous section to obtain the access address and user password of MinIO and access it through a browser.

    2. Find the fanruan bucket after a successful login. It stores the content of the file server.

    3. Create a subfolder, where you can upload, download, and delete files, and perform other operations.
