Prerequisites

MinIO Server

You can find the login credentials and the URL for the MinIO Console in the MinIO server's Password Vault. Open the MinIO Console, enter the appropriate login credentials, and select "Login" to sign in.

\nAfter successfully logging in, you will be redirected to the MinIO Console dashboard.

Customize the MinIO Console Domain

If you want to customize the MinIO Console domain, you’ll need to adjust the NGINX configuration.

Connect to your MinIO server via SSH as the root user.

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/<server-id>.creoline.cloud.conf

\nIn the configuration file, you need to edit the section containing the following NGINX server directive for the MinIO Console.

server {
-   server_name admin.<server-id>.creoline.cloud;
+   server_name admin.<your-domain.tld>;
    listen 9443;
...
}

+ means this entry has been added (your desired domain) - means this entry has been removed (our preconfigured domain) You can also keep our entry here if you prefer.

Save the file with Ctrl + S and then exit with Ctrl + X.

Next, you’ll need to renew the Let’s Encrypt certificate to ensure your domain is properly protected.

certbot --nginx --expand -d admin.<your-domain.tld> -d bucket.<your-domain.tld> --non-interactive --agree-tos -m <your-email-address>

If you have kept our entry, we recommend also specifying the option -d admin.<server-id>.creoline.cloud so that this is also protected by the SSL certificate.

You can then check whether you can successfully establish an encrypted connection to the MinIO Console via HTTPS by visiting admin.your-domain.tld.
