Install previous version of Minio

Apps and Virtualization

Hi, has anyone got some instructions for installing the previous version of Minio (prior to GUI admin pull) I managed to fork the image of RELEASE.2025-04-22T22-12-26Z but I don’t know where it is stored on my truenas scale box - thanks.

Hey @Realtec_Computing. I was hunting for the same thing and saw your post a few days ago. I finally sat down and got this working.

Steps:

  • install the normal MinIO app from the TrueNAS catalog with a ‘MinIO Root User’ and ‘MinIO Root Password’
  • I also changed ‘MinIO Export Storage (Data)’ to a Host Path pointing to one of my datasets but that’s optional
  • install one of the community forks of the MinIO console using TrueNAS’ custom app YAML (the 3 vertical dots beside the custom app button on the discover apps page
  • give the app a name, I used minio-console
  • I used this fork: GitHub - huncrys/minio-console: Simple UI for MinIO Object Storage 🧮, I suspect others would work too but this is what I got to work and huncrys seems to be updating frequently
  • here is the YAML:
services:
  minio-console:
    container_name: minio-console
    environment:
      CONSOLE_MINIO_SERVER: http://192.168.0.20:9000 # change the IP to your TrueNAS IP
      CONSOLE_PBKDF_PASSPHRASE: a_long_string
      CONSOLE_PBKDF_SALT: another_long_string
    image: huncrys/minio-console:latest
    ports:
      - '20901:9090' # change the first port to what ever you like, I access on 20901
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /mnt/hdd1/public/s3:/data # the part to the left of the colon is the path to my dataset

That’s it. I open http://192.168.0.20:20901 in my browser which opens the MinIO fork by huncrys and login with the username and password I set in the official TrueNAS MinIO app configuration.

I use Pangolin as a reverse proxy for https and a domain for external access but that’s a whole different can of worms.

Everything is working as expected. I don’t know if that will change or the maintenance implications but first thing is to get it working.

Good luck!

Thanks for posting, I did find a solution last night as it goes:

Install minio from the app store as normal
Convert the app to a custom app
Edit the yaml file and replace the image line with
minio/minio:RELEASE.2025-04-22T22-12-26Z-cpuv1

Save and et voila you should now be back to old GUI version!

Clever move :+1:

I just saw ‘Minio Console’ app appear in the TrueNAS app list which uses the huncrys fork!
