minio behind Nginx

spammy

I tried to install minio after seeing this post:

https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/2116446/#Comment_2116446

I also host other applications on the server so I was using minio.MyDomain as my domain name for minio.

The problem is every time I create a bucket, because the bucket will essentially be a subdomain entry that I will need to add to Nginx. On top of that my domain DNS is hosted on Cloudflare and hence every time I create a bucket I have to add the subdomain to Cloudflare as well.

Is that how everyone does this or there is just a smarter way of doing things that I am not aware of? Unfortunately Minio is so easy to set up it doesn't really have any documentation on the "proper" way to configure DNS afterwards.

My buckets are like domain.com/minio/bucketname by default.

Ah I think I configured the bucket URL incorrectly, I was using:

host_bucket = %(bucket).minio.MYDOMAIN

Changed it to domain.com/minio/bucketname and it seems to work.

Why do you include minio in the URL? Any reason for it? I have it setup like this: subdomain.domain.tld/%(bucket).

@k0nsl Sorry to revive this thread but I was doing another configuration and forgot where I should change the configuration, could you let me know where I should change the configuration to get the URL scheme you have above?
