Efficient Node.js File Upload to MinIO: A Step-by-Step Guide

Efficient Node.js File Upload to MinIO: A Step-by-Step Guide

This time, I will show how to use Minio (Object Storage) for uploading multimedia data using Nodejs.

Step 1: Install Minio Locally Using Docker

The example above works this way:

  • mkdir creates a new local directory at ~/minio/data in your home directory.

  • docker run starts the MinIO container.

  • -p binds a local port to a container port.

  • -name creates a name for the container.

  • -v sets a file path as a persistent volume location for the container to use. When MinIO writes data to /data, that data mirrors to the local path ~/minio/data, allowing it to persist between container restarts. You can replace ~/minio/data with another local file location to which the user has read, write, and delete access.

  • -e sets the environment variables MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD, respectively. These set the root user credentials. Change the example values to use for your container.

Step 2: Setup Project and Install Dependencies
