HA Minio

Demonstration of how to configure Minio, a S3 compatible Cloud Storage Server for DigitalOcean in a highly available fashion.

This installation requires Terraform and Ansible.

Prerequisites

Terraform

Install Terraform on your system. If you are using MacOS X and Homebrew, you can install it with brew install terraform

Ansible

Install Ansible on your system. If you are using MacOS X and Homebrew, you can install it with brew install ansible

Since inventory is managed by Terraform, you can use terraform-inventory to supply Ansible with the Droplet configuration. If you are using MacOS X and Homebrew, you can install it with brew install terraform-inventory.

Install Minio on Droplets

Provision Droplets

1. Terraform is configured through terraform.tvfars. A sample file, terraform.tfvars.sample, has been included.

2. Use Terraform to build Droplets and Floating IP. terraform apply.

3. Once Droplets and Floating IP have been created, retrieve the assigned Floating IP.

4. Assign a hostname to the Floating IP that was created. This hostname will be used to automatically generate a TLS certificate when configuring the Droplet.

Configure Droplets

1. Copy group_vars/node.sample to group_vars/node.
2. Create Ansible node configuration:
   1. Un-comment and fill in floating_ip.
   2. Un-comment and fill in do_token with your DigitalOcean Access Token.
   3. Un-comment and fill in minio_host with the hostname you assigned to your Floating IP.
   4. Use gen_auth_key to generate an auth key for the cluster. Un-comment and fill in ha_auth_key with the generated key.
3. Use Ansible to configure the Droplets for Minio. ansible-playbook -i /usr/local/bin/terraform-inventory site.yml

Using Minio

Once Ansible has completed running your Cloud Storage site will be available at https://.
