Minio LDAP Integration

[infogulch]

Minio auth configuration seems to be rather awkward. It appears to have pretty decent support for LDAP authentication: https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/sts/ldap.md

Do you think it would be a good idea to enable this?

Agree. I am all for this. The more services I can use with LDAP, the better.

My understanding is that LDAP is only for the STS integration and not for login and minio dashboard. (STS is a token service where services can request a temporary access token from access key and secret).

Digging deeper I found this issue - https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/9837 . From there, I found that there is another admin UI for minio (?) - https://github.com/minio/console which looks way better than the current one. It's unclear to me why these are separate projects and how they are tied together.

There's some LDAP setup docs at https://github.com/minio/console/blob/master/DEVELOPMENT.md . Also this blog post - https://blog.min.io/new-minio-console/

@girish Wow that console UI looks great. Based on the publish date of that article and the current release tag on the console (0.7.0) it seems that it's a pretty new project. As far as being separate I can imagine wanting to have a very lightweight UI for the storage device itself and running the full-featured UI separately, especially if they're targeting k8s-like deployments.

"You’re one docker pull and three minutes of configuration away from a browser-based interface that taps into the most powerful features of the MinIO storage suite."

Nice find! Just "three minutes" work then

Agreed.

(And I still really want to be able to filter the app store by LDAP support and for Discourse and NodeBB to have LDAP added )

It would be awesome to have this lovely new Minio GUI available in Cloudron!

Agreed, I think we should open up a separate app request for this minio console.
