Try It Out

To take the Minimus NGINX S3 Gateway image for a test run, we will use Docker Compose.

Save the following code to a new file compose.yaml in your project directory. Update the template to replace the placeholders with your valid AWS access key ID and secret:

services:
  nginx-s3-gateway:
    depends_on:
      minio:
        condition: service_healthy
    image: reg.mini.dev/nginx-s3-gateway
    container_name: nginx-s3-gateway
    ports:
      - "8989:8080/tcp"
    environment:
      - S3_BUCKET_NAME=test-bucket
      - AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={aws-access-key-id}
      - AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={aws-secret-access-key}
      - AWS_SIGS_VERSION=4
      - S3_SERVER=minio
      - S3_SERVER_PORT=9000
      - S3_SERVER_PROTO=http
      - S3_REGION=us-east-1
      - S3_SERVICE=s3
      - S3_STYLE=virtual-v2
      - ALLOW_DIRECTORY_LIST=true

  minio:
    image: quay.io/minio/minio:latest
    hostname: test-bucket.minio
    command: server /data
    ports:
      - "9090:9000/tcp"
    environment:
      - MINIO_ADDRESS=:9000
      - MINIO_ROOT_USER={aws-access-key-id}
      - MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD={aws-secret-access-key}
      - MINIO_REGION_NAME=us-east-1
      - MINIO_DOMAIN=minio
      - MINIO_BROWSER=off
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:9000/minio/health/live"]
      interval: 5s
      timeout: 3s
      retries: 3

Run the container:

docker compose up

Next, configure the AWS CLI for MinIO. Replace the placeholders with your valid AWS access key ID and secret:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={aws-access-key-id}
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={aws-secret-access-key}

You are now ready to create the bucket for testing:

aws s3api create-bucket \
  --bucket test-bucket \
  --endpoint-url "http://localhost:9090" \
  --no-verify-ssl

Upload a file to MinIO so you can test it. In the below example, we assume the file name is test.txt:

echo "TEST" > test.txt
aws s3 cp test.txt s3://test-bucket/ --endpoint-url http://localhost:9090

Visit http://localhost:8989 in your browser to view the test.txt file. Alternatively, run curl http://localhost:8989/ to list the files through the NGINX S3 Gateway.

Technical Considerations

The NGINX S3 Gateway image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
