I have been trying (and failing) to get MinIO working on a new TrueNAS setup to use MinIO for S3 backups. I have been able to create buckets on the GUI, but when I am trying to create access keys using the CLI I just cannot seem to get them working, I am trying to use the TrueNAS shell to run all of these commands.
I can’t seem to find any full fledged guide on setting this up without the GUI since it has been removed.
Is there any one that can provide some guidance to get things going?
Currently on Fangtooth 25.04, is it better to run the docker container? My only concerns are with security issues if we run this on an older container, but if that’s how it has to be then that could be an option.
Aiui, modern truenas apps are docker containers under the hood. They are supposed to be “easier” to manage than a vanilla docker container.
This is an opinionated topic. IMO, running apps on TrueNAS is not a good idea considering the number of migrations you would need to perform through the years (judging by the track record). But if you absolutely must, this guide is the way to go.
Again, all that is only my opinion. And mb you shouldn’t even consider this approach if you are not familiar with docker.
Do you plan to make your minio publicly available or what?
I agree with @swc-phil in discouraging use of apps. iX has discarded three plugin/apps ecosystems thus far because they were “too much work” to maintain; I have zero faith that they’ll do any better this time around, though of course time will tell. I prefer Dockge to the method linked in Phil’s post, but either way the stack is under your control.
