Configuring Minio for several use cases

[robi]

I noticed that the minio config is pretty static in the Cloudron package.

• This could be improved by linking the start.sh to /app/data (so we can make changes)
• Several example configs could be provided which can be swapped out for various use cases (only one install needed)
• A new config UI could be adapted from OpenVPN
• It could be used to front backups to S3 providers in gateway mode (this is what I'd like to do now + a super cool hack that I'm working on )
• Disk caching is possible using this method
• Integrates with Rclone
• Encrypt it with certs

minio moved entirely an environment variable based configuration approach and the config.json is deprecated - https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-server-configuration-guide.html . So, looks like if we fix the package to source /app/data/env.sh , that's a good start. And then we need the server/gateway CLI configurable as well.

Ideally, all this should come from the upstream app (given that it already has a UI). Maybe we can open up a feature request there? I am not sure why their admin ui is so "ignored".

I pushed changes to allow custom config in new minio release.

The UI is just a browser, and not a configuration system ;-/

We just need to manage our own CLI configs.

Thank you!
