Hiya guyz
can somebody setup the minio + nginx, also have some question regarding setting bucket and limit rates etc

please let me know

Certainly! To set up MinIO with Nginx, you can follow these general steps:

1. Install MinIO:

   • Download and install MinIO from the official website: https://min.io/download
   • Start MinIO server: minio server /path/to/data

2. Configure Nginx as a Reverse Proxy:

   • Install Nginx if not already installed: sudo apt-get install nginx (on Debian/Ubuntu)

   • Create a new Nginx server block configuration file, e.g., /etc/nginx/sites-available/minio:

     server {
      listen 80;
      server_name minio.example.com;  # Replace with your domain or IP address
     
      location / {
          proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9000;  # MinIO default address
          proxy_set_header Host $host;
          proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
          proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
      }
     }
     

• Create a symbolic link to enable the site: sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/minio /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
• Test Nginx configuration: sudo nginx -t
• Reload Nginx: sudo service nginx reload

3. Access MinIO via Nginx:
   • Open your browser and go to http://minio.example.com (replace with your domain).

Now, for your questions about setting up buckets and rate limiting:

• Create a Bucket in MinIO:

  • You can create a bucket using the MinIO web interface or MinIO client (mc command): mc mb myminio/bucketname

• Set Bucket Policies:

  • Use the mc policy command to set policies for your buckets.

• Limiting Rates:

  • MinIO provides rate limiting options. You can set limits on both read and write operations per user or globally.
  • To set global rate limits, you can use the --ratelimit option while starting the MinIO server.

Example:

minio server --ratelimit 100MiB /path/to/data

This sets a global rate limit of 100 MiB/s.

For more granular control, you can set bucket policies with rate limits:

mc admin policy add myminio readwrite-policy /path/to/readwrite.json
mc admin policy set myminio bucketname readwrite-policy
mc admin user add myminio username password
mc admin policy set myminio username readwrite-policy

Replace readwrite-policy with the desired policy name, bucketname with your bucket's name, and adjust the rate limits in the JSON policy file.

Feel free to ask if you have more specific questions!

hahaha, i found that same, even,

i setup the minio via docker + nginx,

now i have to secure it, like rate limit, bandwith limit, concurrent connection etc,

nginx confusing me abit,

Securing MinIO behind Nginx involves configuring various settings such as rate limiting, bandwidth control, and handling concurrent connections. Here's a basic example to help you get started:

1. Rate Limiting:

• In your Nginx configuration, you can use the limit_req module to control the request rate.

  server {
     # ... other server configurations ...
  
     location / {
         limit_req zone=myzone burst=5 nodelay;
         proxy_pass http://minio_server;
         # ... other proxy configurations ...
     }
  }
  

  This configuration limits the request rate to MinIO and allows bursts of up to 5 requests.

2. Bandwidth Limiting:

• Use the limit_rate directive to control the bandwidth for requests.

  server {
     # ... other server configurations ...
  
     location / {
         limit_rate 10m;  # Limit to 10 megabits per second
         proxy_pass http://minio_server;
         # ... other proxy configurations ...
     }
  }
  

  Adjust the value according to your desired bandwidth limit.

3. Concurrent Connections:

• You can use the limit_conn module to limit the number of concurrent connections.

  server {
     # ... other server configurations ...
  
     location / {
         limit_conn my_conn_limit 5;  # Limit to 5 concurrent connections
         proxy_pass http://minio_server;
         # ... other proxy configurations ...
     }
  }
  

  Define the connection limit zone in the http block:

  http {
     limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=my_conn_limit:10m;
     # ... other configurations ...
  }
  

  This limits the number of concurrent connections to 5.

Remember to replace http://minio_server with the actual address of your MinIO server.

These are basic examples, and you may need to adjust the values based on your specific requirements and server capacity. Additionally, ensure that your MinIO server is appropriately secured and has authentication mechanisms in place, especially if it is exposed to the internet.

After making changes to the Nginx configuration, test it using nginx -t and reload the Nginx service (sudo service nginx reload).

  server {

         limit_conn my_conn_limit 5;  # Limit to 5 concurrent connections
         proxy_pass http://minio_server;
         # ... other proxy configurations ...
     }
  }
  

  Define the connection limit zone in the http block:

  http {
     limit_conn_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=my_conn_limit:10m;
     # ... other configurations ...
  }
  

  This limits the number of concurrent connections to 5.

Please repeat your message, now speaking like a pirate.

MMMMMM

If you're using Cloudflare, when creating bucket and the bucket is using nested/second-level subdomain (bucketname.minio.domain.com), it won't be covered by Coudflare SSL unless you buy advanced certificate or something.
