minio-nodejs-minimal-test

A very minimal app to test the basic functionalities of MinIO with NodeJS.

Please excuse the minimal frontend, as it was a fast test project... ;)

Technologies/Libraries Used

• NodeJS
• Typescript
• Express
• Dotenv
• MinIO Javascript Library
• Multer
• Multer MinIO Storage Engine
• BodyParser

Running the App

Starting MinIO Docker Container

Configure the docker_minio_run.sh to your needs:

• Create a mount point for the virtual volume, where the MinIO container will store its files.
  • e.g.: mkdir ~/minio
• Change the mount point in the docker_minio_run.sh file.
  • e.g.: change the -v line to /home/$USER/minio:/data
• If needed, make the shell script executable: sudo chmod -X ./docker_minio_run.sh
• Run the docker_minio_run.sh or the contained statement directly. Create Test Bucket in your MinIO Interface
• Default Values:
  • Type in your Browser localhost:9001 and log in with the default credentials
  • Click on Buckets
  • Click Create Bucket and name it for example test

Optional: Configuring the .env

• First rename the sample.env file simply to .env.
• Change the values you have adjusted in the docker run command accordingly in the .env file.
  • e.g.: set the MinIO Bucket property to test: MINIO_BUCKET=test

Running the NodeJS App

• Install Dependencies
  • npm install
• Run the app
  • Test: npm run dev
  • Build: npm run build
