Use MinIO

Use MinIO object storage for Obsidian sync.

1 Install MinIO server

Use docker to install MinIO server, run the following script:

docker run -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 \
-name minio \
d --restart=always \
e "MINIO_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin" \
e "MINIO_SECRET_KEY=minioadmin" \
v /home/chinglin/fastdata/.minio/data:/data \
v /home/chinglin/fastdata/.minio/config:/root/.minio \
minio/minio server \
/data --console-address ":8090" -address ":8091"

• MINIO_ACCESS_KEY and MINIO_SECRET_KEY: by default is minioadmin and minioadmin, it is not a must to reconfig it.
• console address 8090 to configure the whole service
• address 8091 to access the files, minio client will use these ports.

Besides, the firewall port should be opened if you want to get access outside such as http://server_ip:8090.
