Minio Bucket on External Mount

[DualOSWinWiz]

Hi i have just installed minio on a dedicated inhouse vm I also mounted an external NAS folder which has plenty of storage any idea how to create bucket on that external mount? so internal backup size remains minimal

thank you in advance for your help.

@DualOSWinWiz Just set the data directory of minio to the external mount ? How have you deployed minio? I don't think it's possible to create a specific bucket in external mount. i.e you have to put all minio data in external mount.

I deployed minio on internal volume of OS but i need minio to have additional mount so i can have buckets outside of cloudron backup scope as my bucket size will be substantial so any reference where to configure volume/data directory /media/xxxxx/miniodata

What does that mean? Unfortunately, I don't understand at all.

Just for clarification, you have installed minio outside of Cloudron on a system which has a NAS mounted?
Now you are trying to set the data directory for this minio instance to use the NAS mount? If so this seems to be a minio only issue and not much related to Cloudron?

@nebulon nope i installed minio through cloudron app store

I see, in such a case I guess you want to use the storage data directory feature https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#storage

The only way Minio operates with externals is if it is being used as a mirror, or, "bucket replication". Even then, the destination of the replicated bucket has to also be on a Minio system. Your best approach is to install ONE Minio system, externally, and then setup Cloudron to backup (and backup it's backups) to THAT external Minio.
