Deploy S3 Storage

Buzzy requires an S3 object store. This documentation will deploy a Minio S3 storage container into the Kubernetes setup.

If you already have externally hosted AWS compatible S3 storage skip this step.

Prerequisites

1. Config file downloaded

---

Update config file

Line	Key	Default Value	Description
21	nfs.path	/pv-buzzy/minio	Path to storage location
22	nfs.server	STORAGE_SERVER_IP	IP of NFS server ie 192.168.10.50
69	MINIO_ACCESS_KEY	ioueygr4t589	Access credential
71	MINIO_SECRET_KEY	7a863d41-2d8f-4143-bc8a-02501edbea6f	Access credential
106	Ingress.spec.rules.host	minio.buzzy.net	Hostname to access minio on externally

Deploy instructions

1. Create the folder at nfs.path location on the nfs.server with access 777

   Note: please ensure sufficient storage is available (ie 100GB)

2. Ensure each Node in your Kubernetes cluster can mount this location.

   Please modify the file /etc/exports on your NFS Server to include this line

   <NFS_PATH_FOR_MINIO> <IP_RANGE_OF_YOUR_SERVERS>/<SUBNET_MASK>(rw,no_root_squash)
   

   For example:

   /pv-buzzy/minio 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,no_root_squash)
   

   Apply new NFS storage to exports

   exportfs -ra
   

3. Install Minio

   kubectl apply -f ./minio.yaml

Outcomes

The following are the parameters required to connect to this S3 storage. You will need these later in the application setup. If you have your own S3 storage, please substitute your values.

Key	Default Value	Description
S3_ENDPOINT	minio-service or https://minio.buzzy.net	Hostname of this service
S3_ACCESS_KEY	ioueygr4t589	Credential configured above
S3_SECRET_KEY	7a863d41-2d8f-4143-bc8a-02501edbea6f	Credential configured above
