serversideup/minio-user-init repository overview

⁠Minio User Init Docker Image

This image is used to initialize a user and a bucket in Minio. This project is very helpful when you need to automatically provision users in a new MinIO instance, similar to how you would initialize a database with MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.

It's based off the official Minio "mc" image⁠ with some modifications to make it more flexible and configurable.

⁠Features

• Automatic user creation and policy assignment in MinIO
• Dynamic policy generation based on bucket and object permissions
• Customizable configuration via environment variables
• Support for existing user detection
• Debug mode for troubleshooting
• Native Docker health checks to ensure everything is working

⁠Works great for orchestrated deployments

We designed this image to work great in orchestrated deployments like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or even in Github Actions. Look how simple the syntax is:

  minio-user-init:
    image: serversideup/minio-user-init:latest
    environment:
      MINIO_ADMIN_USER: "${MINIO_ADMIN_USER}"
      MINIO_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "${MINIO_ADMIN_PASSWORD}"
      MINIO_ALIAS: "myminio"
      MINIO_HOST: "https://minio.example.com:9000"
      MINIO_USER_ACCESS_KEY: "myaccesskey"
      MINIO_USER_SECRET_KEY: "mysecretkey"
      MINIO_USER_BUCKET: "mybucket"
      MINIO_USER_BUCKET_PERMISSIONS: "s3:ListBucket,s3:GetBucketLocation"
      MINIO_USER_OBJECT_PERMISSIONS: "s3:PutObject,s3:GetObject"

⁠Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be used to customize the MinIO user initialization:

⁠Default Permissions

This policy provides the following permissions:

• Bucket Level: Ability to list the bucket contents and get its location
• Object Level: Ability to upload and download objects

You can customize these permissions by setting the MINIO_USER_BUCKET_PERMISSIONS and MINIO_USER_OBJECT_PERMISSIONS environment variables.

By default, we create a policy that looks like this:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:GetBucketLocation",
        "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::${MINIO_USER_BUCKET}"
      ]
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts",
        "s3:AbortMultipartUpload"
      ],
      "Resource": [
        "arn:aws:s3:::${MINIO_USER_BUCKET}/*"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

⁠Usage
