This repository contains configuration for deploying MinIO, an S3-compatible object storage server, on Render to use with PocketBase.

1. Fork this repository
2. Create a new Render Web Service using this repository
3. Use the "Blueprint" option to deploy using the render.yaml file
4. Set secure environment variables for MINIO_ROOT_USER and MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD
5. Deploy the service

Once deployed, you'll need to configure PocketBase to use this S3 storage:

1. In PocketBase admin UI, go to Settings > Files storage
2. Select "S3" as the storage provider
3. Configure the following settings:
   • Endpoint: https://your-minio-app-name.onrender.com
   • Bucket: pb-files (create this bucket in MinIO console first)
   • Region: leave empty
   • Access Key: Your MinIO root user name
   • Secret Key: Your MinIO root password
   • Force path style: Enabled

The MinIO console is available at: https://your-minio-app-name.onrender.com/minio/

Use your configured root credentials to log in and manage buckets.

After deployment, you'll need to log into the MinIO console and create a bucket named pb-files for PocketBase to use.

• Change the default credentials
• Set up proper bucket policies
• Consider setting up IAM users instead of using root credentials
