Hello,

I’m currently using Minio as an easy database for serving my images. To make things simpler everything is set to public, so that just with the URL, you can access it directly. While it’s working great for my website, by setting everything public you can easily see ALL the images. So my question is : What is the best way to setup my node JS app as a proxy ? Is it going through the full S3 protocol hell mess, or is there any solution ?

PS : I have a lot of images, so setting everything in the node app is not possible

    Hi, just a disclaimer as I’ve never used Minio in a serious/professional project, only in home fiddling and school projects, so I may not suggest the optimal way to do things.

    You can create Access Keys (Service Accounts) in Minio for your application, and make the bucket(s) accessible only by this account (private with an access policy, I guess). In your JS app, if I remember correctly, you should be able to specify an access key to use for the connection.

    Access keys are credentials, so be sure to store them (and pass them around) safely.

    I hope this gives you at least a general direction to investigate, happy tinkering!
