Install MinIO

If you don't have an object storage service from a cloud provider, you can deploy the open-source service MinIO in Kubernetes and use it to configure BackupRepo.

1. Install MinIO in the kb-system namespace.

   helm install minio oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/minio --namespace kb-system --create-namespace --set "extraEnvVars[0].name=MINIO_BROWSER_LOGIN_ANIMATION" --set "extraEnvVars[0].value=off" --version 14.10.5
   

   Get the initial username and password:

   # Initial username
   echo $(kubectl get secret --namespace kb-system minio -o jsonpath="{.data.root-user}" | base64 -d)
   
   # Initial password
   echo $(kubectl get secret --namespace kb-system minio -o jsonpath="{.data.root-password}" | base64 -d)
   

2. Generate credentials.

   Access the login page by running kubectl port-forward --namespace kb-system svc/minio 9001:9001 and then accessing 127.0.0.1:9001.

   Once you are logged in to the dashboard, you can generate an access key and secret key.

   

3. Create a bucket.

   Create a bucket named test-minio for the test.
